Abstract
- Amazon has unveiled a new artificial intelligence tool called Vision Assisted Package Retrieval (VAPR) to help delivery drivers find packages more efficiently. The tool uses computer-vision technology to project a green circle on packages to be delivered at each stop and red Xs on those to be delivered later. This technology, initially developed in Amazon warehouses, has been adapted for vans' cramped cargo areas and integrated with delivery-route navigation software. By shortening the typical delivery route by about 30 minutes, Amazon aims to reduce costs and make its e-commerce business more appealing to investors. [Extracted from the article]
