Editorial summaries

Amazon Robotics fleet

Amazon Robotics operates the world's largest deployed fleet of warehouse mobile robots, originating from Amazon's 2012 acquisition of Kiva Systems for $775 million. There is no consumer price, and critically these robots are deployed in Amazon's own fulfillment network rather than sold to external customers: it anchors the captive-internal end of the warehouse-AMR business-model spectrum (distinct from vendors such as Locus or Geek+ that sell or subscribe to customers). It is at commercial maturity as an internal deployment: Amazon stated it deployed its one-millionth robot in 2025 (corroborated by CNBC), spanning more than 300 facilities and coordinated by the DeepFleet AI foundation model. Its lines include the Hercules, Pegasus, and Xanthus drive units, Proteus (its first fully autonomous mobile robot, 2022), the heavy-lift Titan (2023), the Sequoia storage system (2023), the Sparrow, Cardinal, and Robin arms, and Vulcan (2025). The one-million-plus figure is Amazon-stated and independently corroborated; trials of Agility's Digit humanoid are claimed, not commercial.

LocusBot

Locus Robotics (Wilmington, Massachusetts) makes the LocusBot, a collaborative goods-to-person picking AMR that works alongside human pickers, delivered on a Robots-as-a-Service subscription via the LocusONE platform. There is no consumer price: it is a B2B warehouse-automation subscription, not a robot sold to consumers. It is at commercial maturity, operating across 150-plus customers and 350-plus sites in 20 countries, having surpassed 6 billion cumulative picks by October 2025 (DHL Supply Chain a marquee customer), and it raised a $117 million Series F at a roughly $2 billion valuation in 2022 (a point-in-time figure). In April 2026 it launched Locus Array, a mobile-manipulation system extending from collaborative picking toward fully autonomous fulfillment. The pick-count and fleet figures are company-reported, and the ~$2 billion valuation is a November-2022 datapoint. Locus anchors the RaaS / multi-customer end of the warehouse-AMR business-model spectrum.
