Amazon acquires bipedal kid-sized robot maker Fauna Robotics

Fauna's Sprout is a bipedal robot

Fauna recently launched its first robot, Sprout — a 59-pound bipedal bot now being tested by select partners.
This deal comes right after Amazon bought Rivr, a startup in Zurich working on stair-climbing delivery robots.
All these moves show Amazon is serious about bringing advanced robotics into shopping and home devices for better user experiences.
