FedEx revealed a cutting-edge robot on Wednesday that can deliver packages and hot food from stores and restaurants to customers’ homes.
The FedEx Same-Day Bot will be hitting the streets this summer in select markets, including Memphis, Tennessee, the company said.
FedEx said it collaborated with retailers including Walmart, Target, Lowe’s, Pizza Hut, and Walgreens to develop the technology, which it said would “change the face of local delivery.”
The Bot features a large white cube atop four wheels. The wheels allow the Bot to climb stairs and maneuver easily over uneven ground, according to videos of the battery-powered machine in action.
