Moments later, however, he was once again 7 in that slow purposeful step toward the woods.

The package delivery service is only available in some cities in the US.The wheeled robots have a top speed of 4 mph and and can detect barriers from as far as 30 feet away. “The robot can operate through just about anything,” says Nick Handrick, head of operations for Starships DCoffice, “If you have something in the way, its able to climb it.” By giving customers control of when deliveries occur, Starship Technologies is promoting its service as a way to combat package theft.To sign up for the service, which costs a little more than $10 per month, customers need to download the companys app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility, instead of a home address, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon. com.Once a package is delivered to the Starship address, customers receive a text notice that allows them to schedule a home delivery via robot.
