Amazon says it has created a new warehouse robot, called Vulcan, which can "feel" some of the things it touches.

The two-armed Vulcan robot, used in Amazon warehouses to move items in storage, has sensors to know when it touches something. One arm moves items, while the other, with a camera and suction cup, picks things up.

Amazon states that Vulcan learned from real data, such as information about force and touch, to select about 75% of Amazon's products. They also say it can improve itself over time. The robot is currently used in Spokane, Washington, and Hamburg, Germany, where it has handled 500,000 orders so far.

Vulcan is the newest warehouse robot at Amazon, which uses many robots to send customer orders from its large buildings worldwide. Some people say that Amazon is buying robots to replace human workers, but Amazon says this is not true and robots like Vulcan just make their warehouses safer.
