Amazon's recent hire of Covariant's founders and employees, coupled with a non-exclusive license for their AI robotic models, aims to enhance its robotic capabilities, especially in warehouse settings.
Joseph Quinlivan emphasized that integrating Covariant’s AI technology into Amazon’s robotic fleet will significantly boost performance and create tangible value for customers, enhancing operational efficiency.
Covariant will continue to function independently under new leadership, focusing on deploying its AI technology, the Covariant Brain, across diverse industries including apparel, health, and pharmaceuticals.
This arrangement echoes previous strategies by Amazon, such as the reverse acquihire of the founders from AI startup Adept, tapping into new talent while navigating antitrust concerns.
