this is fourths two legged delivery
robot
it's called digit Ford is working with
agility robotics to create autonomous
deliveries once a self-driving car
arrives at its destination did you will
unfold itself from the back of the car
then it'll grab the correct package from
the vehicle and walk straight to your
door to drop off the package
digit was designed to look like a human
and walk like one too our goal with
digit is to have a robot as a mobility
platform that can be in human spaces go
where people go and work with people and
there are so many applications where
that's going to be a useful and
important task one of the big ones is
package delivery a robot vehicle that
can drive on all of our roads is going
to be able to do that but then how do
you get it from the vehicle to the
doorstep and that's where our robot
comes in that's what digit can do it can
carry packages that weigh up to 40
pounds go up and down stairs walk
naturally through uneven terrain and can
even keep its balance if it bumps into
something how is it able to do all that
light our sensors and a few stereo
cameras which is what many self-driving
cars also use the autonomous vehicle can
wirelessly deliver information to digit
this exchange of information can help
digit use the best pathway to the front
door and overcome unexpected obstacles
we'd envision the AV to arrive at the
site with all the information you'd need
to know about starting a mission we'd
have the prior maps and the AV would be
able to aid the robot when it got out of
the vehicle and knowing where it was and
where it needs to go and additionally
the AV is full of sensors and computers
that can help the robot which is a
little
that thrifty are on those components and
should it run into any difficulties in
package delivery we can either solve the
problem on the car or we can relay that
information up to the cloud for further
assistance this also keeps digits super
lightweight and they allow for a long
runtime ford claims digit can operate
most of the day no word yet on when ford
expects to send digit out on its own or
where it will first launch so would you
answer the door of this ring on your
doorbell
