Description

Amazon has introduced Vulcan, a warehouse robot with an artificial sense of touch. The system can feel and manipulate items within the company's fabric storage compartments using specialized arms equipped with force sensors. Already operational in facilities in Washington and Germany where it has processed 500,000 orders, Vulcan can handle about 75% of Amazon's inventory. The robot primarily works with items at challenging heights, potentially reducing injury risks for human workers. Amazon emphasizes that Vulcan is designed to complement, not replace, its workforce as the company plans deployment across the US and Europe over the next few years.
