Amazon is reportedly working on software for humanoid robots that may eventually replace delivery personnel, according to a Wednesday report by The Information, which cited an anonymous source familiar with the initiative.
Reuters has not been able to independently verify this information at this time.
As part of this endeavor, Amazon is putting the finishing touches on a “humanoid park,” a specialized indoor obstacle course located at one of its offices in San Francisco, California. This facility is expected to serve as a testing ground for the robots, as per the report.
The company is said to be developing artificial intelligence (AI) software to operate these robots, while currently planning to utilize hardware from external vendors for its testing phases.
Amazon did not respond to a request for comment outside of its standard business hours.
In a related series of announcements on Wednesday, Amazon showcased the integration of AI into its operations, emphasizing the benefits for stockroom robots, delivery staff, and the extensive network of its warehouses, all aimed at accelerating the delivery of packages to customers.
