Overview
Amazon is the largest deployer of physical-AI robotics in the world by fleet count, with more than 1 million robots deployed across its global fulfillment network as of mid-2025, a count that continues to climb in 2026. The robot-to-human ratio across Amazon's operations is approaching 1:1, with roughly 1.5 million human employees. Amazon's physical-AI strategy is structurally vertically integrated: the company manufactures its own robotics platforms through Amazon Robotics (the subsidiary formed from the 2012 acquisition of Kiva Systems), operates autonomous vehicle robotaxi service through Zoox (acquired 2020), pilots external humanoids including Agility robotics Digit, and acquired the Covariant founding team in August 2024 to accelerate AI deployment across robotics. The company's next-generation Shreveport, Louisiana fulfillment center deploys 10× more robots than a standard facility and serves as the orchestration testbed for Amazon's full robotics platform stack.
Amazon's editorial significance is structural vertical integration unmatched by any other operator in physical AI. While most operators evaluate humanoids from external vendors (GXO, BMW, Toyota), and while most robot makers depend on external customer deployments (Figure, Agility, Apptronik), Amazon owns the entire stack: manufactures its own platforms, operates its own deployments, develops its own AI through Covariant talent, and runs its own autonomous-vehicle service. This puts Amazon in a category by itself among physical-AI operators globally.

Amazon Astro
Home companion robot using Intelligent Motion autonomous SLAM navigation (avoids people/pets/stairs) with a periscope camera for patrol. Honest status (vvc): consumer Astro remains an invite-only 'Day 1 Edition', never a broad retail release; the commercial 'Astro for Business' variant was discontinued July 2024 after ~7 months. Destinations/patrols are human-set.
Current platform
Prime Air MK30
The Amazon Prime Air MK30 is Amazon's current-generation autonomous last-mile delivery drone, recorded in the aerial form factor to fill the registry's delivery-drone coverage (it is the major US delivery drone with the most-documented safety record). Successor to the MK27-2, it is quieter with greater range and heat tolerance, carries onboard sense-and-avoid, and delivers small packages of up to about five pounds to customers' yards across markets including College Station, Texas, Tolleson, Arizona, Waco, Texas, Richardson, Texas, and parts of the UK and Italy. Made by Amazon's Prime Air unit, it is recorded at pilot maturity rather than stable commercial because a pattern of FAA- and NTSB-investigated crashes has driven repeated US operational suspensions, including a January 2025 pause after dual Oregon test crashes and a Phoenix-area pause after an October 2025 double crane-strike. Its predecessor, the MK27, had its own 2021 crash near Pendleton, Oregon, in which a motor failure caused an uncontrolled fall and a lithium-battery fire that ignited acres of wheat stubble, recorded here as lineage rather than a separate entity.
Retired
Amazon Scout
Amazon Scout was Amazon's six-wheeled, cooler-sized autonomous sidewalk delivery robot, the canonical sidewalk-delivery wind-down datapoint. Launched in January 2019 with a first neighborhood in Snohomish County, Washington, it field-tested across four US markets, adding Irvine in Southern California in 2019 and Atlanta and Franklin, Tennessee in 2020. The registry records it at commercial maturity to reflect its historical peak of live customer field tests across those markets, with a discontinued lifecycle state: on October 6, 2022, first reported by Bloomberg, Amazon wound the program down, ending the customer-facing field tests and disbanding the dedicated field-test team while reassigning employees to other roles rather than conducting mass layoffs. It is recorded under the existing Amazon company as a discontinued historical record, the canonical sidewalk wind-down alongside FedEx's paused Roxo, a verified-versus-claimed contrast case of a giant's program reaching commercial field-test scale and then being discontinued while survivors such as Starship, Serve, and Coco continued, in the same spirit as the discontinued autonomous-truck legacies Embark and TuSimple. The figure of roughly 400 people who worked on Scout is Amazon's total-program headcount with the reassignment-versus-exit split not disclosed, and the city-level specifics, while well established for the California and Washington sites, are partly inherited from launch coverage since several wind-down articles cite only the broader regions.
Current platform
Amazon Robotics fleet
Amazon Robotics operates the world's largest deployed fleet of warehouse mobile robots, originating from Amazon's 2012 acquisition of Kiva Systems for $775 million. The registry records it at commercial maturity as an internal deployment: Amazon stated it had deployed its 1 millionth robot in 2025 (corroborated by CNBC), spanning more than 300 facilities and coordinated by the DeepFleet AI foundation model. Its product lines include the Hercules, Pegasus, and Xanthus drive units, Proteus (its first fully autonomous mobile robot, 2022), the heavy-lift Titan (2023), the Sequoia containerized storage system (2023), the Sparrow, Cardinal, and Robin robotic arms, and Vulcan (2025). Critically, these robots are deployed in Amazon's own fulfillment network rather than sold to external customers, so the maturity reflects commercial-scale internal operation (distinct from vendors such as MiR or Locus). The 1M+ figure is Amazon-stated and independently corroborated; trials of Agility's Digit humanoid are claimed, not commercial.
