Positioning

Amazon Robotics operates the world's largest deployed robot fleet, passing its 1,000,000th robot in July 2025 (Proteus AMRs, the two-armed tactile Vulcan, Sequoia and Hercules drives), with 75% of Amazon deliveries robot-assisted. It released the DeepFleet generative-AI fleet-coordination model in July 2025 (claiming a 10% speed gain) but stopped using its Blue Jay multi-arm system in operations (February 2026) after testing. It is captive with no external revenue, scored at the Amazon group level; robot count by type and 2026 fleet growth are the open items.
