Overview

• Amazon has built a dedicated ‘Humanoid Park’ in San Francisco to simulate real-world delivery scenarios including stairs and doorways.
• The company is evaluating multiple humanoid robot models, such as the Unitree G1 from China and Agility Robotics’ Digit.
• Amazon is developing its own AI-driven control software that leverages advanced models like DeepSeek-VL2 and Alibaba’s Qwen for autonomous decision-making.
• Robots are being trained to exit Rivian electric delivery vans and transport packages autonomously from vehicles to customers’ doors.
• The initiative builds on Amazon’s robotics expertise but still faces hurdles in public-space navigation, energy efficiency and securing regulatory approval.
