of Trolley London Starship Technologies has six wheels and must be able to carry a package the size of two bags.
The electric carts company driving completely autonomously, but if there are problems, a human intervene driver remotely. The maximum speed is about 6 kilometers per hour and the robots must be able to interfere with pedestrian traffic in cities.
With a maximum weight of 9 kilos the robot at a distance of no more than 30 minutes from a distribution deliver a package. According Starship Technologies is at least ten times cheaper than existing methods of delivery

Cheap
When parcel delivery is the last part of the delivery is often the most expensive. The robots must be able to bring in large quantities to a single hub, then cheaply by having robots perform the final delivery.
Among other Amazon is working on a similar concept, but with Flying worried chaperones. That could go to probably work faster than the robots Starship, but technologically complicated. It is also still working on regulations for drones to ensure security.
Starship hopes in 2016 to conduct the first trials with the carts, including in the US and the UK.
