They have been deployed only in some of the online giant’s most advanced US facilities so far. Manufactured by Kiva Systems (now Amazon Robotics), a company acquired by Amazon in 2012, the battery-powered Kiva bots are designed to quickly localize and pick-up portable storage units (cartons, pallets, movable shelves etc.) that contain products needed for fulfilling orders and bring them to an employee who sorts and ships them.
