A Decade of Robotics Innovation

Amazon's foray into robotics began in 2012 with the acquisition of Kiva Systems, a pioneering company specializing in autonomous mobile robots (AMRs). Since then, the retail giant has continued to push the boundaries of robotics innovation, deploying robotic aRMs such as Robin, Cardinal, and Sparrow in its fulfillment centers. These robots have been designed to work alongside human employees, streamlining tasks such as inventory management and order fulfillment. Amazon's relentless pursuit of robotics innovation has led to the development of increasingly sophisticated robotic systems, each designed to improve efficiency and productivity.
