Sparrow is Amazon’s new intelligent robotic system that streamlines the fulfillment process by moving products into totes before they get packaged. Then, robots move totes to employees for packaging. Once the items are boxed up, robots named Robin and Cardinal redirect packages to various locations in the warehouse before they begin their delivery journey. Sparrow uses computer vision and artificial
intelligence (AI) to recognize and handle millions of items. In 2021, by using robots, Amazon employees picked, stowed, and packed approximately 5 billion packages—or over 13 million packages per day.
