Amazon claims a breakthrough in robotics with a robot that has a sense of touch called Vulcan.Vulcan is Amazon's first robot with a sense of touch built on advances in robotics, engineering, and physical AI.Amazon previously worked on robots like Scout, Digit, and Sequoia to improve deliveries and operations.Vulcan's sense of touch aims to make workers' jobs easier and safer while enhancing order efficiency.Vulcan can pick and stow items using advanced robotics, engineering, and physical AI, improving operational tasks.Unlike typical robots, Vulcan can feel and react to unexpected contact due to its sense of touch.Vulcan's technology allows it to manipulate items within storage compartments efficiently and prevent damage.Vulcan uses end-of-arm tooling for manipulation similar to how a human uses hands and fingers.Amazon aims to deploy Vulcan in Europe, the UK, and the US to enhance operational efficiency and support employees.Vulcan's self-learning capabilities and sense of touch mark a significant advancement in robotics according to Amazon.
