Amazon’s Proteus warehouse robot now plans tasks directly from worker text prompts

SMRTR summary

Amazon's upgraded Proteus warehouse robot can now receive plain-language text instructions from workers and operate throughout entire fulfillment centers, not just dock areas. The robot independently decides task priority, routes, and timing. Announced alongside a €10 billion European expansion, Proteus is set for deployment across Europe in early 2027, with Amazon also scaling up its Vulcan and STARK robotic systems alongside 25,000 new jobs.
