Amazon to Invest $1 Billion in Humanoid Robot Studies

 Amazon, which has become a giant in e-commerce and earns billions of dollars every year, announced that it will invest 1 billion dollars in humanoid robot technologies.

 Setting out to support emerging technologies, Amazon announced that they plan to invest in companies that share their curiosity and enthusiasm for invention. Moreover, Amazon states that the companies to be invested can work with them and direct users to Amazon if they wish; states that they can use this investment entirely for the growth of their own companies if they want to. Allocating 1 billion dollars (approximately 14 billion TL) to invest, Amazon has already caught a few companies in sight.

 Amazon plans to invest 150 million dollars of the fund it allocated to Agility Robotics, which produces bipedal robots. Amazon, the rest of the fund; It plans to transfer it to Modjoul, which works on wearable technologies, Vimaan, which uses computer technology for inventory verification, BionicHIVE, which is assisted by robot technology for the rack stacking system, and Mantis Robotics, which works on tactile robot arms. Amazon, which has ceased to be an e-commerce giant and supports robot technology with its investments, states that they will continue to support new technologies. When you think about it, 1 billion dollars is not a big amount for Amazon, which earned about 470 billion dollars in revenue last year. However, considering that the companies it invests in are developing the technology of the future, this investment actually becomes much more valuable.
