Amazon launches new R&D group focused on agentic AI and robotics
Amazon recently unveiled plans for a new R&D group that will be specifically focused on developing artificial intelligence (AI) for its growing stable of warehouse and fulfillment robots. This move further solidifies Amazon's commitment to embracing AI technology in its operations.
Named the Robotics & AI Research Group, the new division is being assembled to capitalize on cutting-edge developments in AI, machine learning, and automation to propel Amazon's robotics programs to new heights. The group's work is expected to bring advanced AI capabilities to the company's warehouse robots, equipping them with more skills to better handle tasks and enhance the overall efficiency of warehouse operations.
According to Amazon's David Hoffman, the company aims to develop an agentic AI framework for its robots, which means they will be building a system that allows robots to self-learn, solve problems, and make independent decisions. The ultimate goal is to empower these robots with autonomy, enabling them to navigate complex scenarios and situations with a greater degree of autonomy.
The concept of agentic AI is becoming increasingly popular in the tech industry. Agentic systems are designed to be adaptable, proactive, and capable of making independent decisions based on the data they process. This approach is far different from traditional automation systems, which often function based on predetermined parameters or predefined directions.
Amazon is not the first company to look into agentic AI and robotics. There are many other tech giants that have invested in similar research. Also, smaller startups are keenly exploring the possibilities that such AI systems offer in terms of enhancing operational efficiencies and reducing human oversight.
As Amazon fortifies its position on the frontier of AI implementation, it continues to make notable strides in automating essential components of its internal supply chain. Through the application of agent
