Amazon Conducts Layoffs in Robotics Division Amid Broader Workforce Reductions

Amazon has conducted another round of layoffs affecting its robotics division, with at least 100 white-collar jobs cut, according to multiple reports citing internal sources and company statements. The robotics unit, responsible for designing warehouse automation systems, recently halted development of the Blue Jay robotic arm project. These cuts follow broader corporate reductions since 2022, including about 16,000 jobs cut in January 2026. Amazon stated it continues to invest in strategic areas and supports affected employees with severance and benefits.
