Amazon UK Unveils 'Deliver the Future': STARK Robots to Deploy Across 15 European Fulfillment Centers

On June 5, at the 'Deliver the Future' event held in the UK, Amazon disclosed its roadmap for logistics automation upgrades in Europe. As a key part of the previously announced infrastructure investment exceeding ?10 billion, the company's STARK robotic pallet handling system is planned to expand from its pilot in Barcelona, Spain, to 15 fulfillment centers across Europe by 2027, aiming to significantly enhance loading/unloading and inventory turnover efficiency. Simultaneously, Amazon officially launched the next-generation warehouse robot, Proteus, which can interact via natural language, with plans for batch deployment in Europe in the first half of 2027. For the first time, the company also introduced the Vulcan robot equipped with tactile perception capabilities. By integrating physical sensing and AI decision-making, it achieves precise grasping of fragile and irregularly shaped items. This marks a comprehensive transformation of Amazon's European warehousing network from traditional mechanization towards 'Embodied AI' [This article is sourced from Ebrun Go.
