More than 1 million robots are now working across our fulfillment network.

Our robotics technology pairs employees with the right tools to make their workday safer and more productive, while delivering packages to customers faster than ever.

These robots include:

• Sequoia: speeds up inventory storage by 75% and retrieves hundreds of thousands of customer orders per week
• Hercules and Titan: drive units that transport inventory directly to employees, with Titan capable of lifting twice as much for larger items
• Vulcan: our first robot with a sense of touch that can pick and stow items at the highest and lowest rows of inventory pods at fulfillment centers
• Blue Jay: a ceiling-mounted system being tested to power Same-Day Delivery sites and can handle multiple fulfillment processes that would traditionally require separate systems
• Proteus: our first fully autonomous mobile robot that navigates freely throughout facilities using sensors

We've also retrofitted over 120 packaging machines across the U.S. to create made-to-fit paper bags instead of plastic, helping us avoid more than 130 million plastic bags this year.
