Plus, Amazon's millionth robot and check out Prime Video's July lineup July 5, 2025 Amazon News News, facts, original stories, and more from the source.   Amazon's robot milestone: 1 million strong and getting smarter Amazon has reached two major milestones in its robotics journey: deploying its millionth robot, in Japan, and launching DeepFleet, a powerful new generative AI foundation model that coordinates robot movements across its fulfillment network. DeepFleet functions like an intelligent traffic-management system, reducing robot travel time by 10% while enabling faster deliveries at lower costs. Built using Amazon's extensive inventory movement data and AWS tools like SageMaker, this AI continuously improves over time. Since beginning with a single robot type in 2012, Amazon now operates diverse robots like Hercules, which can lift and move up to 1,250 pounds of inventory, and Proteus, a fully autonomous mobile robot that safely navigates around employees. This technology transformation has also created more technical roles—Amazon's next-generation fulfillment center in Shreveport, Louisiana, requires 30% more employees in maintenance, reliability, and engineering positions compared to traditional facilities.   Learn more     Share this story Prepare for Prime Day   3 months free of Audible Premium Plus for Prime members     3 free months of Kindle Unlimited and save on Kindle devices     5 ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle your Amazon packaging     8 ways Amazon makes shopping Prime Day deals easier     5 benefits that make your Prime membership a steal   Check out some of the best Prime Day 2025 deals—and tips for saving big Get ready for Amazon's biggest Prime Day yet, with more days to shop!
