Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics)

Kiva Systems, now known as Amazon Robotics, develops and uses autonomous mobile robots to streamline warehouse operations. These robots transport shelves of products directly to human workers or automated stations, significantly improving efficiency, accuracy, and speed in order fulfillment. Instead of workers walking across large warehouses to pick items, the robots bring the products to them, reducing time and labor costs. This innovative technology has transformed warehouse logistics, allowing companies like Amazon to process and ship orders more quickly and reliably.
