Amazon Introduces Scout the Delivery Robot

Delivering in Washington's Snohomish County

Residents of an undisclosed neighborhood in Snohomish County in Washington state have started receiving packages from Amazon’s Scout, an autonomous six-wheeled delivery system the company says is “the size of a small cooler.”

While it doesn’t appear customers can specifically request delivery via Scout, Amazon said it is an option for some Amazon customers north of Seattle.

Amazon has six self-driving Scouts to start. They will “roll along sidewalks at a walking pace” and deliver packages during daylight hours on weekdays, the company said.
