Amazon Debuts Vulcan — a Robot That Can “Feel”
Vulcan can delicately handle items like a human, using AI-powered cameras & force sensors. First robot to manage soft, tight compartments; already handled 500K orders. Learns from errors via touch & force data; used in Washington & Hamburg warehouses. Aims to boost worker safety in hard-to-reach areas.
Interesting innovation by Amazon,
"Today at our Delivering the Future event in Dortmund, Germany, we’re introducing a robot that is neither numb nor dumb. Built on key advances in robotics, engineering, and physical AI, Vulcan is our first robot with a sense of touch."
