Amazon is about to start testing humanoid robots for package delivery. The goal is for the robots to come out of the Rivian electric delivery vans and bring packages to your door.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over 20,000 Rivian electric vans are currently used to deliver Amazon packages, and the number is expected to increase to 100,000 by the end of the decade.<\/p>\n

For now, humans are driving them and delivering the packages to doors, but humanoid robots may soon handle the latter.<\/p>\n

The Information<\/a> released a new report revealing that Amazon has built a new facility to test humanoid robots in an environment mimicking deliveries in the real world:<\/p>\n
