Yes, it does seem like they're using a robot to solve a human problem. If the robots were the ones who decided how the shelves were initially stacked then surely there would be more elegant approaches to this? picking and packing is a tiny part of the whole ordering and delivery system which would probably be best re-designed from the top down if all parts are to be conducted automatically.
