Amazon has introduced a new warehouse robot called Vulcan, equipped with a sense of touch, to handle a wide range of warehouse items more accurately.
Vulcan can gauge the pressure needed to handle items based on their characteristics, using a wand with a camera and suction cup for identification and movement.
This robot learns from each interaction with items, adjusting its behavior for future tasks and is currently operational in Amazon's fulfillment centers.
Amazon aims to reduce reliance on human labor by deploying robots like Vulcan, which could save the company up to $10 billion annually by 2030.
