Robots could soon replace humans to deliver your Amazon orders
Amazon is developing humanoid robots that could soon replace human delivery workers, with plans to have the machines "spring out" of Rivian electric vans to deliver packages directly to customers' doors. The e-commerce giant has constructed a "humanoid park" testing facility at its San Francisco office, according to a report by The Information. The indoor obstacle course, roughly the size of a coffee shop, features a Rivian delivery van where Amazon will test various humanoid robots in simulated delivery scenarios. The company is developing artificial intelligence software to power these robots while using hardware from external manufacturers. One robot being tested is a $16,000 unit from China-based Unitree, though Amazon plans to evaluate multiple humanoid models during the trials. Once testing concludes at the facility, Amazon intends to conduct real-world "field trips" where robots will attempt actual package deliveries to homes. The robots would travel in the back of Amazon's fleet of over 20,000 Rivian electric vans, potentially speeding up delivery times by allowing simultaneous drops at multiple addresses. This initiative represents a significant expansion of Amazon's existing robotics program. The company already uses autonomous robots extensively in its warehouses and has previously trialed Agility Robotics' humanoid "Digit" robot for logistics tasks. However, deploying humanoid robots for last-mile delivery in uncontrolled outdoor environments presents new technical challenges. The development coincides with Amazon's broader AI push announced Wednesday, which includes agentic AI systems for warehouse operations and generative AI for enhanced delivery mapping. The company is also working on smart eyeglasses for drivers that would provide hands-free navigation and delivery instructions. Amazon's humanoid delivery robot project could eventually impact hundreds of thousands of delivery jobs globally, as the company seeks to fully automate package delivery from warehouse to doorstep. The timeline for real-world deployment remains unclear, with testing still in early phases. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

Fintech entry cleared: Flipkart gets RBI nod for lending licence; plans for NBFC rollout still under wraps
Tired of too many ads? go ad free now has received a lending licence from the Reserve Bank of India, paving the way for direct financing to customers, though the ecommerce firm is yet to disclose operational details. The Walmart-backed company confirmed on Thursday that it had secured a Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) licence from the RBI, with sources indicating the approval came in March, PTI reported. While Flipkart acknowledged the development, it did not offer details on how or when the NBFC arm would be operationalised. According to sources, the licence could enable the company to offer credit services such as EMIs or instalment-based financing directly to consumers on its platform. However, specifics of product rollout remain unconfirmed. Walmart currently owns over 80% of Flipkart, having acquired a majority stake in the company in 2018. The development comes shortly after Flipkart, which is preparing for a public listing, announced in April that it plans to shift its holding company from Singapore to India. The move, Flipkart said, aligns its structure with core Indian operations and reflects long-term commitment to the domestic market. "We are inspired by the Government of India's strong vision and proactive initiatives in fostering a thriving business environment and ease of doing business, which have significantly shaped our journey," a Flipkart spokesperson said in April. "This move represents a natural evolution, aligning our holding structure with our core operations, the vast potential of the Indian economy and our technology and innovation-driven capabilities to foster digital transformation in India.

NATO's chief says the alliance is on the cusp of accepting Trump's 5 per cent defense investment demand
BRUSSELS: Most U.S. allies at NATO endorse President Donald Trump's demand that they invest 5% of gross domestic product on their defense needs and are ready to ramp up security spending even more, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte said Thursday. 'There's broad support,' Rutte told reporters after chairing a meeting of NATO defense ministers at the alliance's Brussels headquarters. 'We are really close,' he said, and added that he has 'total confidence that we will get there' by the next NATO summit in three weeks. European allies and Canada have already been investing heavily in their armed forces, as well as on weapons and ammunition, since Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022. At the same time, some have balked at U.S. demands to invest 5% of GDP on defense — 3.5% on core military spending and 1.5% on the roads, bridges, airfields and sea ports needed to deploy armies more quickly. Still struggling to meet the old goal In 2023, as Russia's full-scale war on Ukraine entered its second year, NATO leaders agreed to spend at least 2% of GDP on national defense budgets. So far, 22 of the 32 member countries have done so, and others still struggle to do so. Trump and his NATO counterparts appear likely to endorse the new goal at a summit in The Hague on June 24-25. Trump insists that U.S. allies should spend at least 5% so America can focus on security priorities elsewhere, mostly in the Indo-Pacific and its own borders. He has gained important leverage over the other NATO countries by casting doubt over whether the United States would defend allies that spend too little. At the same time, Trump has imposed tariffs on ally and foe alike, citing U.S. security concerns. The new goal would involve a 1.5% increase over the current 2% goal for defense budgets. It means that all 32 countries would be investing the same percentage.
