One of the great things about Amazon is its fast delivery options, especially if youre an Amazon Prime subscriber. That speed is made possible by a massive logistics operation. Amazon stocks products in huge warehouses around the world, and those fulfillment centers can quickly ship goods to nearby customers once an order is placed.Amazon has also come up with new ideas to improve delivery times, like using drones in certain regions or shipping goods directly to your home or car.Its no surprise that the next big idea to enhance Amazon deliveries (and reduce costs) involves artificial intelligence. Amazon is reportedly considering using humanoid robots powered by generative AI programs to deliver packages to your door.That kind of test makes sense, given the AI boom were living through. Most of us interact with AI through apps on our phones or desktops, but weve also seen impressive advances in genAI for robotics in recent years. Soon enough, humanoid robots will use AI software to understand their surroundings and carry out instructions.Those instructions might involve telling a Unitree G1 robot (above) to hop out of a Rivian car when it reaches your neighborhood, grab the correct package from the back, and deliver it to your door. This is no longer science fiction, and Amazon is reportedly testing just such scenarios.Continue reading...The post Humanoid AI robots may soon jump out of Amazon vans to deliver packages appeared first on BGR.Today's Top DealsBest deals: Tech, laptops, TVs, and more salesTodays deals: $299 Apple Watch Series 10, $38 Sony portable speaker, $249 DJI Mini 4K drone, moreTodays deals: $149 AirPods 4 with ANC, $199 Bose TV soundbar, $41 mattress topper, $399 Weber grill, moreBest Ring Video Doorbell deals
