Amazon's latest robotic recruit will lift and move GoCarts, the e-commerce giant's non-automated, wheeled transports designed to carry packages across its facilities.
, a robot that leverages advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision to sort the company's packages.
"Cardinal reduces the risk of employee injuries by handling tasks that require lifting and turning of large or heavy packages or complicated packing in a confined space," Amazon notes. "With Cardinal, package sorting happens earlier in the shipping process, resulting in faster process time in the facility."
Amazon is testing a prototype of Cardinal that can handle packages weighing up to 50 pounds. The company expects to deploy Cardinal in fulfillment centers next year. It also showed off its AR ID system, which replaces manual bar code scanning using AI and a camera that runs at 120 frames per second, and its "containerized storage system," in which a robot delivers containers to employees to avoid reaching up, bending down or climbing ladders to retrieve items. The latest developments come 10 years after Amazon acquired the robotics firm Kiva in 2012.
