Amazon is developing an automated delivery-station concept that could process packages at about 2.5 times the rate of the company's existing delivery stations, Seeking Alpha reported Monday, citing a paywalled article by Business Insider.
This initiative, known internally as Project Tetromino, aims to use artificial intelligence and robotics to automate work such as organizing packages and preparing them for delivery vehicles, according to the report.
Amazon plans to launch a pilot facility in 2028 and then follow it with additional sites, the report said.
The Business Insider report was based on a review of an internal planning document. Amazon disputed the timeline and financial projections in the document, saying the project is in its early stages and plans could change, per the report.
Amazon did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
The company has spent more than a decade automating its logistics network. Amazon has already deployed more than 1 million robots across its operations, and it has made acquisitions that have steadily extended machine capability deeper into the fulfillment stack.
During a July earnings call, Amazon said it delivered more than 40% more items the same day or overnight during the first half than it did a year earlier. It expanded its Amazon Now service, which promises delivery in 30 minutes or less, to 80 additional U.S. cities and towns. The company also introduced Supply Chain Services so outside businesses can use its network to move, store and deliver goods.
Amazon reached a record 1 million-plus robots working in its warehouses in July 2025. The company will soon have as many robots as humans in these facilities.
The machines include wheeled robots that move goods around the floor for packaging, arms that help sort products and a robot equipped with a sense of touch that allows it to pluck products from shelves.
Tye Brady, Amazon Robotics' chief technologist, said at the time that the new robots are designed to make Amazon workers' jobs easier rather than replacing them.
