Amazon has just become the first company in the world to integrate one million robots into its warehouse systems. The milestone robot was deployed at a fulfillment center in Japan, and Amazon’s robots now operate in over 300 warehouses across the globe.
The robotic fleet includes advanced models such as:
- Hercules – for heavy lifting tasks,
- Proteus – the first autonomous robot designed to navigate safely among people,
- Vulcan – powered by AI to smartly pick and pack items.
Amazon has also introduced DeepFleet, a generative AI model acting as an intelligent traffic controller for robots, reducing congestion and boosting efficiency.
Initial tests show 10% faster order processing and significantly fewer delays.
Thirteen years after launching its first robot, Amazon now uses robotics in nearly 75% of global deliveries, with robots already collaborating alongside more than 1.5 million people. While concerns remain about job displacement, it’s clear that technology is no longer an add-on—it’s becoming the core of modern logistics.
When it comes to the future of work and automation, Amazon is already showing what that future looks like.
