Amazon has unveiled its first fully autonomous mobile robot. While it looks very much like a robot vacuum, Proteus is designed for transportation not cleaning.
Amazon has unveiled its first fully autonomous mobile robot designed to help out at its distributions centers, though it’s not clear if it’ll be ready in time for the company’s fast-approaching and super-busy Prime Day shopping event.
As the video shows, Amazon’s new robot works by driving beneath a cart and then elevating to lift it off the ground. Proteus is then able to transport the cart to a designated destination. Proteus is a lot more advanced, however, with its cutting-edge technology enabling it to work alongside humans without fear of causing a calamity.
Another new robot, Cardinal, is a stationary device that uses artificial intelligence and computer vision to quickly sort packages weighing up to 50 pounds. Designed to reduce the risk of employee injuries by handling tasks that require lifting heavy objects and twisting in a confined space, Cardinal is expected to be deployed at Amazon warehouses next year.
