Amazon's Leap into Robotic Deliveries
Amazon is reportedly developing artificial intelligence software for humanoid robots aimed at replacing human delivery workers. (reuters.com) The company is constructing a 'humanoid park' at one of its San Francisco offices, an indoor obstacle course intended for testing these robots. Initially, Amazon plans to use robotic hardware from third-party firms while focusing its efforts on creating the software.

Rivian Vans: The Chosen Transport
Amazon has introduced new technologies to enhance delivery efficiency and expedite customer purchasing decisions. The company has unveiled Vision Assisted Package Retrieval, a system using spotlights in delivery trucks to highlight packages for each stop, saving time on deliveries. By doing this, they aim to increase the number of deliveries per shift, boosting customer satisfaction and sales. Amazon plans to equip 1,000 Rivian electric delivery trucks with this technology by early next year, with a goal of having 100,000 such vans by 2030. (The Verge)
