Summary

Amazon is reportedly testing humanoid robots for last-mile delivery support at a San Francisco facility. The company plans to use third-party robots and build its own AI and control systems to help them navigate real-world delivery conditions. The test program aims to integrate robots with Rivian vans and reduce the need for drivers to repeatedly exit their vehicles. The article places this effort in the context of Amazon’s broader automation push across warehouses, simulation, and workforce reskilling.
