Amazon has formed a new team that is working on a home robot, described in job posts as a 'new-to-world robot product', CNBC reports, based on its analysis of the listings.
A recent listing, since removed, described a product that can move around changing home environments and work autonomously alongside family members. In March Amazon bought New York-based Fauna Robotics, maker of the 3.5-foot Sprout humanoid, which became part of a new Personal Robotics Group.
Amazon's earlier home robot, the USD 1,450 Astro, was shown in 2021 but never went beyond an invite-only product and shipped to only a few thousand customers, according to CNBC.
