Meet Sparrow, Cardinal and Proteus. They’re the robots that, step by step, are replacing human workers in the company’s warehouses.

In one post, Amazon highlighted Blue Jay, a robot it calls “an extra set of hands that helps employees with tasks that involve reaching and lifting,” and its agentic AI system Project Eluna, which “acts like an extra teammate, helping reduce that cognitive load” while optimizing sorting to reduce bottlenecks.

Amazon, the second-largest private employer in the world, with 1.5 million workers, is accelerating its use of warehouse robots as part of a major automation drive, The New York Times reported on Monday. The move could replace 600,000 human jobs by 2033.

Amazon.com Inc. is rolling out a new AI-powered tool that will recommend a specific product when shoppers are feeling overwhelmed with options.
