If you shop through Amazon, chances are growing that a robot will help fill your order.

Amazon plans to use 10,000 robots in its warehouses by the end of the year.

Right now, about 1,000 robotic workers fill orders for the online retailer.

Amazon says the additional robots will not affect the number of people employed by the company.
