Ocado did run into multiple fire issues due to these robots colliding with each other. In 2019 and 2021 [1]

Wonder if the matter has been resolved.

I'd suggest robots with fire extinguishers.

Or non-combustible robots

Need to quit running all the robots on gasoline and building them out a wood.

I'm curious how Amazon handles fire in the midst of their Kiva pods. Do they have procedures for retasking an army of robots to clear a path for humans to get access?

If there are really no humans there they could just fill the warehouse with nitrogen or something. No fire!

Lithium battery fires don't feed on atmospheric oxygen. That's the most likely ignition source.

True, though the problem isn't just robot batteries burning up, but setting all the stock ablaze and this part is indeed feeding in atmospheric oxygen.
