Scoped entry: covers only Amazon's internal fulfillment-robotics program (Proteus, Sparrow, Sequoia, Vulcan, Cardinal, Robin); parent-wide business data is not tracked.
Amazon's robotics fleet operates across its fulfillment centers using AI-native autonomous systems: Vulcan (2025) is Amazon's first robot with a sense of touch, using physical AI and force-sensing for pick-and-stow at ~75% of all item types; Sparrow uses computer vision and AI to sort 200M+ unique product types; Proteus is a fully autonomous mobile robot using AI navigation to move drive units anywhere in facilities; Sequoia is a multilevel containerized inventory system. All systems use onboard and cloud-hosted neural networks for perception and decision-making, with no pre-programmed fixed paths.
