Amazon has reached a milestone by deploying its 1 millionth robot into its warehouses, with the latest being delivered to a facility in Japan.
The company now has robots assisting in 75% of its global deliveries, potentially leading to a nearly equal number of robots and humans working in its warehouses.
Amazon is releasing a new generative AI model called DeepFleet to enhance the efficiency of its warehouse robots, increasing the speed of the robotic fleet by 10%.
The latest robot model introduced by Amazon is Vulcan, equipped with two arms - one for rearranging inventory and another with a camera and suction cup for item retrieval, featuring a sense of touch.
