Beijing, June 19 (Xinhua)-- Amazon confirmed on Friday that it will not hold a re:MARS conference on cutting-edge technologies such as robots and space this year and will include these topics in its existing Amazon Web Services lineup.

Amazon launched re:MARS in 2019, hosted by Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos. MARS comes from the initials of the English words "machine learning, automation, robots and space". At the re:MARS conference, startups, academics, researchers and executives discuss the latest developments in these technologies. It evolved into a private, invitee-only event, attracting the participation of the tech elite, hosted by Amazon founder and executive chairman Jeff Bezos.

Amazon said it did not cancel re:MARS for budgetary reasons.

In the face of Amazon's slowing sales growth and bleak economic outlook, CEO Andy Gassi has been carefully examining the cost of the entire company.

The company has made the biggest layoffs in its history, and Jassi has stopped many projects, including the Amazon Care telemedicine project, tour Treasure truck, Amazon Glow children's videoconferencing equipment and Amazon Explore virtual travel service.

Amazon uses re:MARS to showcase futuristic innovations such as delivery drones, warehouse robots and the company's first home robot.

Bezos also held talks on space colonization and tested a pair of giant remote control robots. At last year's conference, Amazon demonstrated a feature that uses Alexa digital assistants to imitate deceased relatives.

"every year, Amazon Web Services holds hundreds of events around the world, hosting hundreds of thousands of customers and partners," a spokesman for Amazon Web Services said in a statement. These activities provide us with a valuable opportunity to establish contact with our customers. Customers' time is precious, and we take it seriously. Whether by developing new skills, identifying new solutions that will change the organization, or building new connections to improve career development, we strive to make every event valuable to every participant. As always, we have consulted customers and communities and decided to include re:MARS themes-machine learning, automation, robotics and space-into our existing well-funded Amazon Web Services lineup in 2023.
