Amazon has introduced Proteus, its first fully autonomous mobile robot, to perform tasks and move safely in the vicinity of employees using proprietary safety, perception, and navigation systems. Proteus can lift and transport Amazon's wheeled GoCart trolleys, used to transfer packages through fulfillment and sorting facilities.
The robot will initially be used in the Amazon facilities’ outbound GoCart handling areas. The company also unveiled other automated systems, including the artificial intelligence-based Cardinal robot arm, which can choose and lift one package from a pile of boxes, read its label, and place it on the appropriate GoCart.
