Abstract

In this research paper, we present autonomous delivery robots and their contribution during the pandemic. The paper introduces two autonomous delivery robots in more detail. These are Starship and Scout. Starship is under the company Starship Technologies, and Scout is part of Amazon. Both robots have made a significant contribution to the field of autonomous delivery robots. During the pandemic, the need for these robots was further highlighted. In the future, these robots will appear everywhere, and there will be even bigger upgrades on them - this is just the beginning of the era of autonomous robots as we see them now. We found out that both robots are in broad use on many fields. Scout is about two times heavier, four times faster in speed and can carry 27% more freight in comparison to the Starship robot.
