Amazon has unveiled its next-gen warehouse robot, Vulcan, designed to improve speed, safety, and precision in order fulfilment.
Vulcan features advanced sensors that give it a sense of touch, allowing it to detect pressure and handle items more gently and accurately.
The robot can pick, sort, and move packages with minimal human intervention—especially useful for delicate or irregularly shaped items.
Vulcan is expected to significantly reduce delivery times and increase efficiency across Amazon's fulfilment centres.
Amazon says Vulcan is built to work safely alongside human employees, reducing strain and improving workplace ergonomics.
Vulcan is part of Amazon’s broader robotics strategy, which includes innovations like Sparrow and Proteus to fully automate logistics.
