Since acquiring Kiva Systems in 2012 for $775 million, Amazon has expanded its warehouse robot fleet to over 750,000, enabling them to perform various tasks. These robots assist in transporting packages, sorting items, and optimizing packaging. Amazon employs more than 16,000 staff in robotics, emphasizing their technology's evolution, including the autonomous Proteus robot. Chief technologist Tye Brady highlights the benefits of robots for faster delivery and cost savings, estimating a $10 billion annual saving by 2030. Recent investments and collaborations further demonstrate Amazon's commitment to advancing robotics technology.
We can have faster delivery times because of the work that we've done in robotics, and we're creating thousands and thousands of jobs because of that.
Robots help Amazon save money, with estimated savings of $10 billion a year by 2030, enhancing efficiency and package delivery.
