Products and projects

Amazon's October 2025 announcement of two operations systems quoted Brady as chief technologist for Amazon Robotics: Blue Jay, which coordinates multiple robotic arms in one workspace that previously needed three separate stations, and Project Eluna, an agentic AI model that helps operators make decisions. A February 2026 update to the announcement says Amazon no longer uses Blue Jay in operations. Amazon Science's author page lists Brady as a co-author of robotics papers at ICRA 2025, ICRA 2026 and IROS 2026.³⁴
