FedEx testing robots that will deliver goods from Walmart, Target and Pizza Hut
Read full article: FedEx testing robots that will deliver goods from Walmart, Target and Pizza HutOn Wednesday, FedEx introduced SameDay Bot, a 200-pound autonomous delivery robot developed by DEKA Development & Research Corp., according to USA Today. FedEx is partnering with AutoZone, Lowe's, Pizza Hut, Target, Walgreens and Walmart so they can help make same-day, "last-mile" deliveries to local customers. Currently, FedEx offers same-day delivery service in 32 markets and 1,900 cities using FedEx employees, but the new robot would be able to deliver to customers who live in close proximity to a FedEx store. Amazon is already testing a robot called the Amazon Scout, which looks like a cooler with six wheels. These delivery robots also can't deliver packages that need a signature, so there is that, too.
