Amazon Unveils New Multi-Tasking Warehouse Robot
Amazon has just unveiled Blue Jay, a next-generation warehouse robot capable of performing multiple tasks at once — picking, stowing, and consolidating within a single workspace.
It’s paired with a new AI system called Project Eluna, designed to help operators make real-time decisions and optimize warehouse performance.
Together, these two systems highlight how Amazon is combining robotics and AI orchestration to make fulfillment faster, safer, and more efficient — and to reshape how people and machines collaborate on the warehouse floor.
Watch the video below:
