Amazon confirmed the acquisition of Fauna Robotics, a startup that builds humanoid robots. Fauna's first product, Sprout, is a $50,000, 3.5-foot-tall bipedal robot designed to be approachable and human-friendly. The deal underscores Amazon's push into humanoid robotics and consumer-facing automation but appears targeted and unlikely to materially move Amazon's near-term financials.
