  • 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.
