California: Amazon has unveiled a series of new technologies aimed at speeding up deliveries, improving warehouse efficiency, and supporting sustainability across its global operations.
The innovations, ranging from smart glasses for delivery drivers to advanced robotics and AI-powered warehouse systems, were showcased at the company’s Delivering the Future event.
Smart Glasses for Delivery Drivers
One of the major highlights was Amelia, a pair of smart glasses designed to assist delivery drivers throughout their routes. The lightweight device features a small display that projects real-time information, allowing drivers to scan packages, follow turn-by-turn walking directions, and capture proof-of-delivery photos, all hands-free.
The glasses connect to a compact controller built into the driver’s vest, powered by swappable batteries for all-day use. Developed with input from hundreds of drivers, the glasses aim to reduce distractions and enhance safety by keeping drivers’ eyes forward.
Blue Jay: Robotics for Smarter Warehouses
In Amazon’s fulfillment centers, a new robotics system known as Blue Jay is transforming how items are picked and sorted. The multi-arm robot performs several tasks at once, picking, stowing, and consolidating packages, combining multiple workstations into one. This results in faster processing and a safer, more efficient workflow for warehouse staff.
Blue Jay is already being tested in South Carolina and will be introduced in additional facilities soon. The system reduces repetitive manual tasks, allowing employees to focus on quality control and problem-solving, while also minimizing the risk of workplace injuries.
Amazon is unveiling two new tools to help power its operations network: Blue Jay and Project Eluna.

Project Eluna: Data-Driven Warehouse Management
Amazon also introduced Project Eluna, a new digital operations tool that helps fulfillment teams make better decisions in real time. The system analyzes both current and historical data from across facilities to identify potential bottlenecks and suggest solutions.
Instead of scanning multiple dashboards, managers can now access insights through a simple interface, helping improve productivity, prevent delays, and support safety planning. Project Eluna is being deployed at a fulfillment center in Tennessee during the holiday shopping season and is expected to expand across the US network.

Virtual Reality Training for Drivers
Amazon’s Integrated Last Mile Driver Academies are rolling out new virtual reality (VR) training modules to prepare delivery associates for real-world challenges. More than 300,000 drivers have completed VR training since 2022, with the program set to expand to 95 delivery stations across North America by 2026.
A new addition, the Enhanced Vehicle Operation Learning Virtual Experience (EVOLVE), offers a realistic driving simulator to help new drivers practice defensive driving techniques in a safe virtual setting.
Beyond logistics, Amazon is continuing its commitment to sustainability and community welfare. Its AI-driven Packaging Decision Engine has helped avoid over 4 million metric tons of packaging waste since 2015, while its clean energy partnerships aim to generate enough power for millions of US homes by 2039.
The company is also extending its free home food delivery program through 2028, providing groceries directly from food banks to families in need across the US and the UK.
