Amazon unveils next-generation Proteus robot for conversational warehouse tasking
Amazon unveiled an upgraded Proteus AMR capable of interpreting conversational prompts and autonomously determining task priorities for broader warehouse operations.
Evidence notes
- Amazon unveiled a next-generation Proteus autonomous mobile robot at its Delivering the Future event in Dartford, UK, as part of a €10 billion European fulfillment-network investment.
- The upgraded Proteus can interpret conversational prompts and independently determine task priorities, routes, and timing for warehouse movement work.
- Unlike the current Proteus systems that operate in dock areas, the new model is designed to operate across broader warehouse floors, with European rollout planned for the first half of 2027.
Company context
Amazon operates one of the world's largest robotics-enabled logistics networks, integrating mobile robots, picking systems and warehouse automation across fulfillment, sorting and last-mile operations.
