Amazon today announced a trio of new AI-powered technologies aimed at accelerating its warehouse and delivery operations. The innovations include a robotic arm named 'Blue Jay' for package sorting, an AI agent called 'Eluna' to optimize workforce deployment in warehouses, and augmented reality glasses to assist delivery drivers with navigation and package identification. The new systems are part of Amazon's ongoing effort to increase automation and efficiency, particularly in the crucial 'last 100 yards' of the delivery process. The smart glasses, known internally as 'Amelia', will provide drivers with turn-by-turn directions and allow for hands-free scanning, aiming to shave seconds off each delivery. This push aligns with reports of Amazon's broader goal to automate a significant portion of its operations. These technologies are being showcased as tools to make human employees more efficient and safer, rather than outright replacements. However, the advancements come amid broader discussions about the increasing role of robotics in Amazon's workforce. The company has stated it wants to offload mundane tasks to robots while improving worker safety and creating higher-paying positions for evolving roles.
