Amazon's Humanoid Delivery Robots

Amazon is developing humanoid robots for last-mile delivery, utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to navigate and complete deliveries. Initial tests are taking place in a covered track at an Amazon facility in San Francisco.

Testing and Development

The company is currently testing the Digit robots from Agility Robotics and will soon test robots from the Chinese company Unitree. The AI software is developed in-house, but the company is using hardware from external providers for now.

  • Tests involve navigating closed tracks and later, real-world environments to avoid route memorization.
  • The goal is to integrate the robots into Amazon's existing delivery fleet of over 20,000 Rivian electric vans.

Amazon aims to reach 100,000 electric vehicles by 2030 and is also working on autonomous delivery cars through its subsidiary Zoox.

Industry Trends

This initiative aligns with similar efforts by other tech giants like Nvidia, Google, and Tesla, driven by advancements in AI technology.
