Wheeled delivery robots can already navigate sidewalks and transport small orders, but a problem arises during the final stretch of the journey: stairs, curbs, and uneven terrain can still prevent these machines from reaching the customer's door. To address this issue, the US company Robot.com introduced the R-Dog, a quadruped robot developed specifically to complete this final leg of deliveries.
Upon reaching its destination, the R-Dog does not necessarily need to wait for someone to retrieve the package; an opening at the rear of the compartment releases, allowing the package to slide out, after which the robot can proceed to its next delivery. The company has not yet explained exactly how the system will select which package to release when multiple deliveries are being transported simultaneously, but making deliveries is just one of the intended functions.
