Meet RIVR TWO, our next-generation robot designed for doorstep delivery and AI data collection at scale.
RIVR retweeted
I’m excited to share that @rivr_tech is now part of @amazon, marking the start of an exciting new chapter for our team.
This step will accelerate our vision of building General Physical AI through doorstep delivery, bringing robotics and AI closer to real-world deployment at scale.
A huge thank you to the entire RIVR team for the incredible dedication, resilience, and hard work that made this possible. A special thank you to Giorgio Valsecchi, Lorenz Wellhausen, and Alexander Reske for taking the leap together from day one and building RIVR side by side.
I’m incredibly proud of what RIVR built, and even more excited about what we will accomplish next at Amazon.

Stay tuned as @rivr_tech starts delivering right to your front door—maybe you’ll even spot the robot in the wild soon.

@MBjelonic's got two things going for him: a robotics company, and investment money from @JeffBezos 🤖 😱
He's the co-founder of @swiss_mile, a deep tech ETH spin-off connecting AI w/ the physical world through autonomous machines.

🤖👷♂️ Many jobs involve tedious, time-intensive, and often unsafe tasks. Could @swiss_mile's next-gen #AI robots lend a hand?

Running legged robots with AI.
Today we met @swiss_mile, the team connecting AI with the physical world using autonomous machines.
An ideal mobile robot needs to move quickly, overcoming obstacles while carrying heavy loads—something current robots still struggle with.
Many robots haven't been widely adopted due to issues with real-world problem-solving. To address this, the Swiss-mile team have created a solution that combines robots with wheels and legs, powered by advanced AI.
These robots can walk, drive, stand, open doors, and even handle packages.
By integrating these features, the team are on a mission to push automation forward beyond stationary robotic arms and have raised $22m in Seed Funding from Jeff Bezos, HongShan, Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund and Armada Investment to do so.

Within the @leggedrobotics Lab at @ETH, the past six years have been dedicated to pioneering research in AI for wheeled-legged robots. Now, Swiss Mile has announced that their embodied AI deployed on a Unitree Hardware platform has been commercialized.

Dieser Roboter von @swiss_mile kann auf Strassen rollen und über Treppen steigen. In Zukunft könnte er Ihnen bestellte Pizza vorbeibringen. KI machts möglich.
Doch erkennt er auch Personen im Rollstuhl? Und was passiert mit seinen Kamera-Aufnahmen? Könnte die Polizei die nutzen?
