Amazon Unveils Scout Delivery Robot [Video]

Amazon today unveiled Scout, a new robot delivery system designed to safely get packages to customers. The devices are about the size of a cooler and roll along sidewalks at a walking pace.

Starting today, Scout will begin delivering packages to customers in a neighborhood in Snohomish County, Washington.

We’re starting with six Amazon Scout devices, delivering packages Monday through Friday, during daylight hours. The devices will autonomously follow their delivery route but will initially be accompanied by an Amazon employee. We developed Amazon Scout at our research and development lab in Seattle, ensuring the devices can safely and efficiently navigate around pets, pedestrians and anything else in their path.
