AWS’s new toolchain connects NVIDIA robotics software with cloud infrastructure, offering reusable development modules while parts of the deployment workflow remain planned.
Less than two months after exiting stealth, the New York-based startup behind the Sprout humanoid is joining Amazon’s Personal Robotics Group, signaling a major escalation in the race for home robotics.
Following its viral performance at the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, Unitree’s G1 humanoid is now available for direct purchase on Amazon, albeit with a significant price markup and strict development limitations.
Amazon’s Frontier AI & Robotics team reveals Perceptive Humanoid Parkour (PHP), a framework that allows bipedal robots to autonomously vault, climb, and adapt to changing environments in real-time.
The Frontier AI & Robotics team releases a "full-stack" framework designed to bridge the gap between different simulators and real-world deployment.
A New York Times report, based on internal documents, outlines Amazon's strategy to automate three-quarters of its operations, avoiding the need to hire over 600,000 workers. This provides new context for the company's aggressive R&D in humanoid robotics.
Amazon's latest robotics project, ResMimic, uses a two-stage residual learning framework to efficiently teach humanoids complex loco-manipulation skills. By refining a general motion policy with task-specific corrections, the system enables a Unitree G1 to handle heavy and irregular objects with precision.
Amazon's FAR robotics team has unveiled OmniRetarget, a powerful data generation engine that translates human motion into physically realistic trajectories for humanoid robots. The system enables a single human demonstration to be augmented into hours of training data, simplifying reinforcement learning and enabling zero-shot transfer of complex loco-manipulation skills from simulation to a real Unitree G1 robot.
Amazon is reportedly developing AI software for humanoid robots intended for package deliveries, according to The Information. The company is said to be constructing a "humanoid park" in San Francisco for testing, focusing on software while initially using third-party hardware. These reports remain unconfirmed by Reuters and Amazon has not commented.
According to a report citing a former Amazon executive, the e-commerce giant is forming a team, potentially including members from Covariant, to develop humanoid robots for warehouse, home, and healthcare applications. The project reportedly involves exploring both wheeled and bipedal designs via simulation.
