News Summary

Amazon has unveiled AI-powered smart glasses, named ‘Amelia’, designed to enhance the delivery experience for its drivers. The glasses provide a hands-free solution by allowing drivers to scan packages, follow turn-by-turn walking directions, and capture proof of delivery without using their phones. Equipped with AI-powered sensing capabilities and computer vision, the glasses display information such as hazards and delivery tasks directly in the driver’s line of sight. They include dual cameras, support for prescription lenses, and transitional lenses that adjust to light conditions. The glasses are in trial with delivery drivers across North America, with plans for future enhancements like real-time defect detection and pet detection in yards. Additionally, Amazon introduced ‘Blue Jay’, a robotic arm for warehouse operations, and ‘Eluna’, an AI tool for operational insights.
