Amazon has recently introduced its first fully autonomous mobile robot called Proteus, which is designed to move huge carts in the company's warehouses. In 2012, it acquired the robotics company Kiva. Proteus autonomously moves through our facilities using advanced safety, perception, and navigation technology developed by Amazon. It can lift and move GoCarts, the non-automated, wheeled transports used to move packages through Amazon facilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmmEbYkYfHY Proteus is just one of the latest technologies that Amazon is inventing and investing in to create a better workplace, and the company believes that they will be able to incorporate robotics in the same physical space as people while remaining smart, safe, and collaborative.   Proteus will initially be deployed in the outbound GoCart handling areas in Amazon fulfillment centers and sort centers. Amazon today announced their very own smartphone called the Amazon Fire Phone. Just snap a photo of an item or let it listen to a music or video and it will give you the product's information as well as its link to the Amazon store.
