After 13 years of deploying robots into its warehouses, Amazon has reached a new milestone. The tech giant now boasts 1 million robots in its warehouses, with the one millionth robot recently delivered to a fulfillment facility in Japan. According to The Wall Street Journal, Amazon’s network of warehouses may soon have as many robots as human workers, with 75% of global deliveries already assisted by robots.
Amazon has introduced a new generative AI model called DeepFleet for its warehouse robots, aimed at increasing efficiency by 10%. This AI model, created using Amazon SageMaker, will help coordinate the robots’ routes within the warehouses. The company has been continuously improving its fleet of robots, with the latest model Vulcan featuring two arms and a sense of “touch” to feel items it grabs.
In October 2024, Amazon announced plans for “next-generation fulfillment centers” with 10x more robots than current facilities, alongside human workers. The first of these centers opened near the Texas border in Shreveport, Louisiana, marking a new era in robotic-powered logistics. Amazon’s robotic journey began in 2012 with the acquisition of Kiva Systems, and has since evolved to include advanced capabilities and models.
