Will these robots work in the US?

I can't imagine that they would with the rampant crime here. Imagine a little robot delivering something in NYC or San Francisco. They'd get stolen, kicked immediately.

However, East Asian countries such as Japan, SK, Singapore, China could work very well.

I think delivery robots can only work in the US if they can fly - which is less efficient than ground.


they already do to a limited degree anyway https://youtu.be/d7eRafWqqRg?si=oqfvSj7qxerBiUFG
