Overview

• Amazon’s Lab126 unit has formed an Agentic AI team to build warehouse robots that follow natural-language commands to perform multiple tasks, from unloading trailers to fetching parts.
• The upgraded SCOT platform uses generative AI to forecast regional demand, reposition stock and shave nearly a day off delivery times while lowering carbon emissions.
• Amazon has built a “humanoid park” at a San Francisco site, according to reports, to trial robots from Unitree and Agility Robotics in simulated doorstep-delivery environments.
• Reporting suggests the robots may hitch rides in Rivian electric vans and navigate obstacle courses designed to replicate real-world delivery conditions during upcoming tests.
• Amazon is using generative AI to generate detailed maps of buildings and parking spots to optimize final-mile driver navigation and reduce delivery errors.
