Amazon's new Vulcan fulfillment center robot doesn't look humanoid but it has some very human characteristics, like the ability to "feel" the items it's handling. Amazon introduced Vulcan at its Delivering the Future event in Germany on May 7.

Amazon has unveiled Vulcan, its first warehouse robot with a sense of touch, designed to handle inventory with precision while reducing strain on human workers.

Amazon's latest Vulcan robot is the company's first system that can sense touch, enabling it to handle a wider selection of oddly shaped items.
