**Amazon Launches Agentic AI & Robotics R&D Group**

Amazon has unveiled a new research and development group dedicated to advancing agentic AI and robotics within its consumer product division. The company announced the initiative during a recent event, signaling a strategic push to integrate AI-driven automation into its operations.

The Agentic AI & Robotics R&D Group will operate under Lab126, Amazon’s innovation hub responsible for developing hardware like the Echo smart speaker and Kindle e-reader. By housing this team within a hardware-focused division, Amazon aims to create an AI framework that enhances its robotics capabilities—particularly in warehouse automation.

This move could lead to smarter, more autonomous robots in Amazon’s fulfillment centers, improving efficiency in tasks like sorting, packing, and inventory management. The company has not yet disclosed specific details about the project’s timeline or expected outcomes.

The announcement follows growing industry interest in agentic AI, which enables systems to perform complex tasks with minimal human intervention. Amazon’s investment in this field could position it as a leader in AI-powered logistics and automation.

For further updates, Amazon has directed inquiries to its official channels.
