We’ve recently heard about several urban delivery robots which would move along city sidewalks on four wheels. The Mighty bot brings something new to the mix, however, with pivoting wheels that are mounted on articulated legs.Continue ReadingCategory: … Continue reading Robot uses bending legs and pivoting wheels to traverse city streets
Kawasaki has shoehorned the supercharged 1,000cc engine from its wild H2R hyperbike into a heavy-lift autonomous cargo helicopter, and has now demonstrated a robotic system for loading and unloading it without exposing humans to those big blades.Contin… Continue reading Kawasaki’s supercharged cargo copter tests robotic ground crew
Although some people are starting to venture back into air travel, the more that they can continue physical distancing, the better. A new robotic in-airport food delivery service has been introduced in order to help them do so.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Autonomous robots are now delivering food in a US airport
ETH Zurich’s ANYmal robot was already impressive back when it simply walked on four legs. It got more interesting when wheels were added to those legs, letting it both walk and roll. That wheeled version is now also able to stand up, and could soon be … Continue reading Wheeled, legged quadruped robot is now set to stand and deliver
With a near monopoly on delivery, Amazon is understandably keen to make the job easier. The latest idea that may or may not eventually see the light of day is a new patent for a system where delivery vans would carry items almost to their destination, … Continue reading Amazon patents trucks that unleash and direct fleets of delivery drones
Over the past few years, Nuro has been taking some important steps toward a future of autonomous delivery through partnerships with some big names, and it’s just landed what might be its biggest fish yet. The startup has entered an agreement with logis… Continue reading FedEx eyes a future of automated delivery through partnership with Nuro
Almost three years after revealing its autonomous delivery vehicle, robotics startup Nuro has been given the green light for commercial operations in California. Initially, service needs will be met by fully autonomous Prius vehicles, but the R2 delive… Continue reading Nuro gets permit to start commercial autonomous deliveries in California
As a recent study indicated, aerial delivery drones aren’t always as energy-efficient as ground-based transport. We may therefore be seeing more wheeled delivery robots, such as the rather cool-looking and increasingly in-demand REV-1.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Three-wheeled delivery robot sees increased use in Michigan
Although we’ve been seeing a lot of robots that are designed to deliver packages to peoples’ homes, most of those bots are stymied by houses’ front steps. Tokyo-based Amoeba Energy is developing a solution, in the form of a tracked robot that… Continue reading Soft-bodied robot could soon be climbing up to your door
In the near future, delivery truck drivers may be replaced by autonomous vehicles or drones that can take a package right to your door. Ford is looking to this future with a parcel-delivering robot called Digit that can be transported to a cu… Continue reading Two-legged robot delivers packages to your door
