What is the name of Amazon's robotic fulfillment system?

Amazon's robotic fulfillment system is called Amazon Robotics. It is Amazon's warehouse-automation division and technology platform, using mobile robots to move inventory and storage pods through fulfillment centers.

The system began with Kiva Systems, founded in 2003 by Mick Mountz, Peter Wurman, and Raffaello D'Andrea. Amazon acquired Kiva for $775 million in 2012 and renamed the company Amazon Robotics in 2015. Kiva's original approach allowed robots to carry entire shelving pods to human workers instead of requiring workers to walk through large warehouses.

A common mix-up is treating Kiva Systems as the current name. Kiva is the former company name, while Amazon Robotics is the modern Amazon division. Other listed choices are separate automation or robotics companies, not the name of Amazon's fulfillment-robotics operation.
