FedEx announced it will begin testing an autonomous, six-wheeled delivery robot called the SameDay Bot this summer.
Revealed by FedEx, the SameDay Bot features four primary wheels and two extra front-facing wheels designed to navigate over various kinds of terrain including streets, sidewalks, sand, puddles, steep slopes and steps. Its cargo can be configured for single or multiple deliveries, and secures its contents so a recipient only has access to their own delivery. It also allows for the transportation of hot and cold items, like food deliveries or groceries.
