Verified: Amazon Robotics (originated from the 2012 $775M Kiva Systems acquisition) operates the world's largest deployed mobile-robot fleet: Amazon stated it deployed its 1 millionth robot (2025), corroborated by CNBC, spanning 300+ facilities, coordinated by the DeepFleet AI foundation model (~10% travel-time improvement, Amazon-stated). Product lines: Hercules/Pegasus/Xanthus drive units, Proteus (first fully autonomous, 2022), Titan (heavy-lift, 2023), Sequoia (storage, 2023), Sparrow/Cardinal/Robin arms, Vulcan (2025)., Internal deployment: These robots are deployed in Amazon's own fulfillment network, not sold externally - maturity=commercial reflects commercial-SCALE internal operation (distinct from vendors like MiR/Locus that sell to customers). Digit (Agility) is in trials only (claimed, not commercial)., Scale tiering: 1M+ robots = Amazon-stated, CNBC-corroborated. '300+ facilities' is Amazon's own figure (prefer over secondary '1,200' numbers).

Description
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. The registry records it at commercial maturity as an internal deployment: Amazon stated it had deployed its 1 millionth robot in 2025 (corroborated by CNBC), spanning more than 300 facilities and coordinated by the DeepFleet AI foundation model. Its product lines include the Hercules, Pegasus, and Xanthus drive units, Proteus (its first fully autonomous mobile robot, 2022), the heavy-lift Titan (2023), the Sequoia containerized storage system (2023), the Sparrow, Cardinal, and Robin robotic arms, and Vulcan (2025). Critically, these robots are deployed in Amazon's own fulfillment network rather than sold to external customers, so the maturity reflects commercial-scale internal operation (distinct from vendors such as MiR or Locus). The 1M+ figure is Amazon-stated and independently corroborated; trials of Agility's Digit humanoid are claimed, not commercial.
