Amazon Humanoid Delivery Robots Are Coming
- In 2025, Amazon is testing humanoid robots at a San Francisco indoor 'humanoid park' to simulate real-world package delivery scenarios.
- This initiative follows Amazon's partnership with Finnish AR company IXI and builds on its experience with over 750,000 warehouse robots and past projects like Scout.
- The robots, including Agility Robotics' Digit and Unitree's G1, will navigate sidewalks, stairs, and deliver packages after riding along in Rivian electric vans.
- An Amazon official said the system aims to make delivery drivers find the right spot more easily, with the $36.5 million IXI partnership complementing AI-powered tools.
- If successful, this testing could reduce worker strain and labor shortages but faces significant challenges and uncertainty about scalability and impact on Amazon's workforce.

Amazon Testing Humanoid Robots to Ride in Vans, Hand-Deliver Packages
Amazon drivers have a hard gig. They've struggled for years against long hours with limited breaks, unreasonable delivery quotas, and wage theft — not to mention repressive union-busting efforts to make sure none of that changes. Those are the conditions that led the Teamsters to launch the largest labor strike against Amazon in US history just days before Christmas of last year. But as calls grow to stop treating its workers like robots, Amazon…
