Picture this: your next Amazon package could be delivered by a humanoid robot!
Yes, the future is here, and it’s wearing a shiny metallic suit. Amazon is reportedly on the brink of launching real-world tests with humanoid robots, designed to leap out of Rivian electric vans and drop packages at your doorstep.
The buzz comes from The Information, which reveals that Amazon is cooking up some AI magic to turn robots into delivery dynamos. They’ve even built a “humanoid park” in San Francisco, complete with obstacle courses and a Rivian van, to get these bots delivery-ready. Think of it as robot boot camp, but with fewer push-ups and more package handling.
Amazon’s new agentic AI team is on a mission to create robots that can understand and act on natural language commands. So, instead of just being mechanical minions, these robots are set to become versatile, multi-talented assistants.

Currently, Amazon’s warehouses are already a playground for autonomous robots, including the humanoid “Digit” from Agility Robotics. This new training facility aims to make the vision of robot delivery a reality, testing various humanoid models, including a $16,000 unit from China’s Unitree.
With Amazon’s acquisition of robotaxi company Zoox in 2020, it’s clear they’re steering towards a fully automated delivery future. So, next time you order that must-have gadget, don’t be surprised if a friendly robot shows up at your door, package in hand!
