Amazon debuts new robotic system amid rumors of 600,000 job cuts
Amazon has introduced two new technologies—Blue Jay, a multi-tasking robotic system, and Project Eluna, an autonomous AI assistant—designed to enhance warehouse operations by supporting employees rather than replacing them. Blue Jay integrates multiple robotic arms to perform picking, stowing, and consolidating tasks simultaneously, reducing physical strain on workers and increasing efficiency within a smaller workspace. Developed rapidly with the help of AI and digital twin technologies, Blue Jay is currently being tested in a South Carolina facility, where it can handle about 75% of stored items. Project Eluna aims to assist operations managers by analyzing real-time and historical data to anticipate bottlenecks and streamline decision-making, effectively acting as an "extra teammate" to reduce cognitive load. In addition, Amazon unveiled Amelia, AI-enabled smart glasses for delivery drivers that feature a camera and display to facilitate package verification. These glasses, currently in North American testing, are intended to support delivery partners rather than replace them, though the company has not ruled out future
