Amazon wants to replace annoying paid workers with humanoid robots that don’t need to pee
Amazon is very serious about robots, and its factories have been attracting them for a long time. Big squat, tall crane and some big boys. It’s like e-commerce, the capitalist version of George Lucas’ robot ecosystem, the naming convention is worse (I’m looking at you, xanthus). Although these robots work hard to automate warehouses nationwide, there is still a part of Amazon’s harsh business that has not been irrevocably touched by the cold steel hand of robot automation, which is at least now package delivery.
According to the information, Amazon is ready to take the next step to seek the final step to implement using the packaging of humanoid robots. The report cites anonymous sources involved in the work, saying Amazon will test a humanoid robot in an indoor park in San Francisco, the size of a coffee shop. These humanoid robots are reportedly being trained in Amazon-made Rivian delivery trucks for last-mile package delivery and actually keeping the package at your doorstep. Apologize in advance for your dog and its already sour relationship with the deliveryman.
The effort to bring humanoid robots into delivery folds since 2025 is an internal attempt to create an internal attempt to make AI software designed to operate the robot and direct it to your door. For me, this effort may be somewhat ambitious considering that Amazon hasn’t even fully launched the LLM-powered Alexa+ voice assistant, but hey, never underestimated the appeal of an automated workforce. Naturally, since this is the Amazon we are talking about, that’s all.
If you haven’t realized that Amazon has a slightly tense relationship with the workforce, this is another step toward removing the nuisance of this understanding. After all, the robot may not be coded to form an alliance, and it certainly doesn’t have to pee in the bottle after being forced to stay on the factory floor for too long. Just like I like the idea of humanoid robots and the scenes we have about our sky Jet– The future of style, in which case I can’t help feeling like a humanoid robot, but ultimately won’t benefit anyone. I don’t know you, but I’m not about the desire to be confused about whether I’m on the steps outside the apartment building or the robots who deliver the package on a safer foyer.
However, we’ll see if Amazon can really pull out the entire robot, but it can offer the latest impulse purchases. There are still many obstacles before the humanoid robot can really handle the pressure of two legs or God forbidden. Obviously, there is no timeline when or whether or whether a robot like Digit (made by Agility Robotics) (a company that already works with Amazon on humanoid robots) will find ways to implement real-life applications. Digit is currently testing in Amazon’s factory, but these conditions are more controlled than the chaotic streets of New York City, where I and millions of others are here. These obstacles won’t stop Amazon from trying, that’s for sure. Good luck, numbers or any robots’ unpaid permanent infringement with Amazon; if there are any signs of past employer/employee relationships, you will need it.
