Down-to-earth drones tackle the 'last mile'

摘要

Aerial drones are not the only thing going when it comes to autonomous delivery devices. Starship Technologies (starship.xyz) is creating a fleet of self-driving, earthbound robots that roll along on the sidewalk rather than fly through the sky. The small, six-wheeled robots are designed for deliveries within a three- to five-kilometer radius (about two to three miles). Moving at four miles per hour, human walking speed, the robots can either drive themselves or be controlled remotely by humans.
