The new version, due in Europe in the first half of 2027, can operate across warehouse floors and marks a shift in how employees interact with robots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou tell it what needs to be done. It figures out the priority, the route, the timing,\u201d said Scott Dresser, vice president of Amazon Robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon also showcased STARK, a robotic tote-handling system first piloted in Barcelona and set to roll out to 15 European sites by 2027, and Vulcan, its first robot with a sense of touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amazon said it will launch more than 25 sub-same-day delivery sites across Europe this year, including in Britain and Germany. Amazon Now, its ultra-fast essentials delivery service, will expand to Manchester and Birmingham in Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It said same-day delivery for fresh groceries is now available in more than 2,300 US cities and parts of Tokyo, with further expansion planned in Japan, Britain and other countries in the coming months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DARTFORD(National Times)- Amazon on Thursday unveiled an upgraded AI-powered mobile robot for its warehouses that can respond to conversational prompts, as part of a 10 billion ($11.6 billion) investment in its European fulfilment network.
