Amazon revamps warehouses with robots to reduce delivery times

Amazon will add a slew of new robotics and artificial intelligence-technologies at its warehouses in an effort to reduce delivery times and speed up inventory operations — and limit injuries, the e-commerce behemoth said Wednesday.

The high-tech upgrade — which debuted at a warehouse in Houston this week — will be rolled out across the company’s 300 robotics operations sites worldwide come 2024 based on how it performs through the holiday season, an Amazon spokesperson told The Post.

The robotics system, named Sequoia after the colossal trees native to California’s Sierra Nevada region, brings together a series of systems including mobile robots and robotic arms.

It will also allow Amazon to list items for sale on its website faster, and will be able to more easily predict delivery estimates, the company’s director of robotic storage technology, David Guerin, told The Wall Street Journal.
