Amazon,which acquired Kiva Systems for$775 million in March 2012 to deploy Kiva robots in fulfillment centers,released the company’s first fully automated mobile robot,Proteus,a decade later,and is ready to deploy them in fulfillment centers GoCart shopping cart handling area in the Center and Sort Center.
Proteus(pictured below)and Kiva are actually similar in shape and function.They are both round and flat delivery robots that can pick up shopping carts and deliver them to the correct location.The evolved Proteus is slightly smaller than Kiva and looks a lot like a sweeping robot.The biggest difference from Kiva is that it uses more advanced safety,perception and navigation technologies,enabling Proteus to interact safely with humans without having to Kiva is also limited to run in a specific unmanned area.
在2012年3月以7.75亿美元并购Kiva Systems,以于履行中心(Fulfillment Center)部署Kiva机器人的Amazon,十年后发布了该公司首款全自动化的行动机器人Proteus,并准备将它们部署在履行中心与分拣中心(Sort Center)的GoCart购物车处理区域。
Proteus(下图)与Kiva的外形及功能其实很类似,它们都是圆扁型的配送机器人,可扛起购物车并将它们运送到正确的位置。进化后的Proteus体积比Kiva略小,看起来很像一台扫地机器人,与Kiva最大的差别在于它采用了更先进的安全、感知与导航技术,使得Proteus能够与人类进行安全的交互,不必像Kiva一样被局限在特定的无人区域运行。
