Amazon, the tech giant, is set to introduce a new group within its consumer product division, focusing on the development of agentic AI.

The establishment of this new research and development group was announced by Amazon at an event on Wednesday, as reported by CNBC. The group will be located at Lab126, Amazon’s hardware research and development division, which is responsible for creating innovative technologies such as the Amazon Echo and the Kindle.

It is likely that the agentic AI group is being established at a hardware R&D center because Amazon aims to develop an agentic AI framework that can be utilized in the company’s robotics initiatives, thereby enhancing the capabilities of its warehouse robots.
