Analysts from Bank of America Securities estimate that retailers like Amazon could save over $7.1 billion annually by 2032 through the use of robotics for deliveries. They note that robots offer significant cost-saving potential, aligning with Amazon’s AI strategy. Reports indicate that Amazon is developing AI software for humanoid robots to assist with deliveries, with plans for training in controlled environments. While Amazon’s robotics capabilities have expanded significantly since acquiring Kiva Systems, the company is still in the early stages of implementing these technologies in logistics.
