Amazon is reportedly developing humanoid robots to operate as package delivery workers that will be transported in Rivian electric vans for real-world testing at a new facility in San Francisco.
The robots are expected to hitch a ride in the back of Amazon's electric Rivian vans and deliver packages, aiming to make the delivery process more efficient.
Amazon has established an indoor 'humanoid park' at one of its San Francisco offices for training, indicating a shift towards developing more adaptable and flexible robotic systems in warehouse operations.
This initiative aligns with Amazon's goal to automate package delivery operations, with the company also experimenting with autonomous robots and making efforts to enhance the capabilities of its delivery workforce.
