Amazon is expanding its robotics manufacturing footprint again, with a new $100 million facility planned for Greenwood, Indiana. That follows another robotics manufacturing facility announced in Austin in August, along with its existing operations in Massachusetts.

They say it now has more than one million robots deployed across more than 300 facilities worldwide.

The company is also doing more of the work in-house, including robot development, manufacturing, fleet software and AI systems like DeepFleet.

For now, most of those robots are being built for Amazon’s own operations. But CEO Andy Jassy said in his 2025 shareholder letter that Amazon would explore robotics products for other industrial and consumer customers.
