This week, Amazon introduced Vulcan! 🌋 Amazon has created a new robot called Vulcan, and it's the first one with a real sense of touch. I visited one of the fulfillment centers of Amazon to shoot their latest picking robot for you! Vulcan doesn’t just “see” like most robots—it... can also feel what it’s touching, like a human hand. 🪬 This helps it do tricky tasks, such as picking items out of crowded bins, without damaging anything nearby. Vulcan is powered by physical AI, which means it uses both sight and touch to understand and move through the world. In Amazon’s warehouses, items are stored tightly in small compartments, which used to be hard for robots to handle. Their new system with Universal Robots arms changes that, it can gently pick up or place items in these tight spaces by knowing how much pressure to apply. The robot uses special tools and sensors to know when it touches something and how hard it’s pressing. 🤏🏼 It helps make the workplace safer by doing tasks that used to require employees to use ladders or reach overhead. Over time, Vulcan will become even smarter by learning from its mistakes and gaining more experience, just like a person does.show more

The main robotics invention Amazon made to help automate 75% of its fulfilment center is called the Vulcan system. An AI-powered gripper has the “sense of touch”, which can handle 75% of Amazon’s 1 million unique items. The previous picking robots used machine vision and suction cups but couldn’t “feel” the items (they were built to handle packages and covered <60% of warehouse items). Per CNBC, the new Vulcan gripper uses sensors and generative AI to apply different force to different items (eg. soft on bag of candies vs. hard on textbook). It also uses AI for solving stacking puzzles to minimize wasted space in a box (like Tetris).

AMAZON’S NEW ROBOT “FEELS” — AND IT’S CHANGING WHAT HUMAN WORK LOOKS LIKE Meet Vulcan, Amazon’s latest warehouse bot that can “feel” what it picks up—grabbing high and low shelves, climbing ladders, and handling the repetitive strain stuff that usually sends people to physical therapy. Amazon says robots now touch 75% of customer orders—and they’re training warehouse staff to become robot techs, floor monitors, and reliability engineers. Not just new roles—new job categories. No, it’s not a 1:1 swap: not everyone wants to be a robot whisperer. But the idea that warehouse jobs are locked into the same routine forever? Also gone. Think of it like the PC revolution: the shift from manual labor to managing machines. Not less work—just different work. This isn’t a Competition between men and machines. It’s about learning to work smarter with them. Source: Amazon / TechCrunch

🚨 Apple joins the robotics race! Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Apple have developed a robot collision avoidance system. They called it ARMOR and they implemented it on the Fourier GR-1 robot. What is ARMOR? 👘 ARMOR is a system that helps humanoid robots "see" their surroundings better by using small, smart depth sensors placed on their arms. It solves the problem of blind spots and occlusions in traditional robot perception, making robots much safer and more efficient. It uses Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors to detect obstacles, providing a near-complete view of the robot’s environment. 🔭 A smart software powered by transformer-based AI learns from human movements to help robots plan their actions dynamically. ARMOR reduces collisions by an impressive 63.7%, making robots significantly better at navigating crowded or complex spaces. The system is fast as well! 💨 ARMOR-Policy cuts computational time by 26× compared to traditional planning methods, ensuring robots can act quickly. P.S. Thoughts on this? The research paper is in the comments! ~~~ ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace.

🇨🇦 ROBOT HANDS JUST LEVELED UP IN CANADA Sanctuary AI showed off a robotic hand that uses hydraulic power to grip, twist, and move like a real one. The hand can handle delicate objects, like dice, without crushing them, proving robots are getting scary precise. Hydraulic actuation gives the robot smoother, stronger control, making it better for heavy industrial work and tricky small tasks. This could change how robots work in factories, warehouses, or even in jobs too dangerous for humans. The future of robot hands? Less clunky claws, more human-like grip power with machine muscle.

Not all automation needs an arm 🦾I That’s right, AmbiRobotics just released their new product - a palletizing gantry system. It’s called AmbiStack, and at first glance, it looks like a 3D tetris. 🥞 It’s a mechanical system designed to automate the stacking and packing of items in warehouses. The system uses Sim2Real reinforcement learning and advanced AI vision technology to optimize how items are sorted and stacked. Even without prior knowledge of their size, shape, or appearance. 📦 AmbiStack can stack items densely onto pallets or into walled containers, maximizing space and reducing warehouse transportation costs. It is a multipurpose solution that can be used for different applications, such as building pallets for retail distribution or stacking items directly on the floor. The system is highly adaptable, able to handle both single-SKU and mixed-SKU cases, and can stack items in any orientation for maximum flexibility. AmbiStack features multi-pick-and-place capabilities, allowing it to pick and place multiple items at once, significantly improving workflow efficiency. P.S. Yes, I know that gantry is technically a three-axis robot.

Touch: A Game-Changer in Dexterity for Robots You can’t be responsive to the world if you can’t feel it. That’s true for people—and it's just as true for robots. We’re zeroed in on a practical, yet innovative, approach to creating general purpose robots designed to perform physical work. And that means hands, powered not just by vision, but by touch. Vision alone falls short. There are many instances where our vision is obstructed while performing work tasks–like grabbing items out of a bin–you lose line of sight. You need tactile intelligence—texture, pressure, contact—with real-time feedback to move faster, smarter, and with confidence.

🚨BREAKING: A new humanoid robot straight out of Europe! Kinisi has introduced their humanoid robot called KR1. This robot has a base with wheels instead of legs. This provides much greater stability and safety for human workers. It’s built for warehouse and factory tasks like picking, stacking, and moving goods. It supports payloads up to 15 kg, runs 8 hours per charge with hot-swappable batteries, and docks itself for recharging. The robot can lift heavy boxes from high shelves, handle fragile items without damage, and adapt its arm trajectories on the fly to avoid obstacles. In demos, it moved smoothly between shelves, placed items into totes, and transported them across the warehouse, all autonomously. Great retrofitting potential, because it doesn’t require major infrastructure changes to deploy. It learns from simple demonstrations, operates offline for reliability and privacy, and integrates quickly into existing workflows. Let’s not forget that E-commerce is growing rapidly, with global online sales expected to reach nearly $7 trillion by 2025. As more people shop online, the number of packages being shipped each day is soaring. These robots help us to make sure they will be delivered on time! 📦

One of the why questions we’re always asking is how can we help operations employees access inventory more efficiently? We’re taking a big leap forward by introducing DeepFleet, an exciting new AI model that makes our one million+ robot fleet work smarter. Think of DeepFleet as an intelligent traffic management system for our fulfillment centers. Just like smart traffic systems reduce congestion in cities, DeepFleet coordinates our robots’ movements to find optimal paths and reduce bottlenecks. By leveraging our deep expertise in robotics and combining it with AWS tools like SageMaker, we’ve built an AI model that learns from our extensive data on inventory movement to make real-time decisions that improve robot travel time by 10% (which at our scale is pretty significant). What makes this particularly exciting is how AI and robotics create value across the board. For customers, it means faster delivery times and lower costs. For employees, it opens up new opportunities – our robots handle physically demanding tasks and heavy lifting, making our fulfillment centers safer, while our people take on more technical roles. This combination of robotics and generative AI is just getting started, and am looking forward to what we’ll invent next.

The $10k robot arms that can learn from a handful of demos: Most robots still lose the cost equation. They’re slow, expensive, and take months to deploy, which means… they only make sense for huge factories. The The Robot Learning Company (YC X25) is building affordable, general-purpose robot arms that can pick up new tasks from just a few human demonstrations. Why it matters: ✅ Under $10k per pair of stationary arms ✅ Adapts to new tasks with imitation + reinforcement learning ✅ Deployable in days, not months From small manufacturers to service providers, this makes robotic labor accessible to companies that could never justify it before. Saying hi to founder Jannik Grothusen 👋 More here:

🇨🇭 BADMINTON-BOT TAKES THE COURT IN SWITZERLAND A Swiss team built a four-legged robot that plays badminton against humans and actually returns shots like it means it. Created with ETH Zurich, this bot uses artificial intelligence to teach itself how to move, see, and hit the shuttlecock with freakish precision. It learns through reinforcement learning which is a fancy way of saying it fails over and over until it figures things out. A special vision system helps it track the birdie while running around like a robot goat with a grudge. It even adjusts its movement to avoid messing up its own view. Researcher, Yuntao Ma: "We believe that this project demonstrates the potential of artificial intelligence to advance legged robots in complex tasks, paving the way for advances in autonomous and intelligent systems, including humanoids. The control algorithm generalizes to other robotic platforms such as humanoids, as well as to other tasks such as search and rescue and home services."

🇨🇳 It has started. A new home service in China pairs human cleaners with autonomous AI robots to tackle household chores. Residents in Shenzhen can now book a service where a human professional and an autonomous robot arrive together to clean their home. Real houses present a chaotic mess of dropped toys and random furniture that confuse traditional machines. X Square Robot and a major service platform named 58[.]com decided to tackle this chaos by launching China's first robot cleaner service in March-26. Customers use an application to hire a cleaning crew that consists of 1 human worker and 1 robot. The human takes care of the tricky chores that require complex judgment. The robot handles the repetitive physical work like picking up trash and wiping down flat surfaces. This machine runs on a system called WALL-A, which acts as a single continuous AI brain rather than a list of pre-written rules. They built this AI foundation model to perceive its surroundings and make its own decisions without human guidance. It processes visual data and plans multi-step actions. And deploying these robots into actual homes now provides the massive amounts of extremely important training data to improve it continuously. Alibaba and ByteDance backed this project. IMO, if the foundational model behind it figures out how to navigate a messy living room without getting stuck, it can learn to operate in almost any other physical environment.

X Square Robot and a major service platform named 58[.]com decided to tackle this chaos by launching China's first robot cleaner service in March-26. Customers use an application to hire a cleaning crew that consists of 1 human worker and 1 robot. The human takes care of the tricky chores that require complex judgment. The robot handles the repetitive physical work like picking up trash and wiping down flat surfaces. This machine runs on a system called WALL-A, which acts as a single continuous AI brain rather than a list of pre-written rules. They built this AI foundation model to perceive its surroundings and make its own decisions without human guidance. It processes visual data and plans multi-step actions. And deploying these robots into actual homes now provides the massive amounts of extremely important training data to improve it continuously. Alibaba and ByteDance backed this project. IMO, if the foundational model behind it figures out how to navigate a messy living room without getting stuck, it can learn to operate in almost any other physical environment.
