The e-commerce giant has acquired start-up company Fauna Robotics for an undisclosed sum. Fauna Robotics specializes in the development of human-like robots that have arms and legs and can seamlessly interact with people.

Fauna Robotics claims that its robots can walk, grip items, and even dance. Now, Amazon is reportedly looking to deploy those humanoid robots at its warehouses around the world as it looks to replace human beings and achieve cost efficiencies.

Amazon’s Robot Plans

The e-commerce giant closed the deal for Fauna Robotics in recent days and says it is its latest push into robotics technologies. In a written statement, Amazon said that it is “excited about Fauna’s vision to build capable, safe and fun robots for everyone.”

Amazon added, “We’re looking forward to inventing new ways to make our customers’ lives better and easier.” News of the Fauna Robotics acquisition comes as Amazon shakes up its robot strategy, recently canceling a major project designed for its warehouses. The purchase also comes after Amazon has let go 57,000 human workers.

Is AMZN Stock a Buy?

AMZN stock has a consensus Strong Buy rating among 43 Wall Street analysts. That rating is based on 40 Buy and three Hold recommendations assigned in the last three months. The average AMZN price target of $279.88 implies 32.95% upside from current levels.
