Amazon Scout
The Automatic Package Delivery Bot is Finally on Streets
Screenshots
Hunter's comment
Don't get too excited though. It's only for a small county called Snohomish in Washington and there is only going to be six Amazon Scout devices. Yesterday Amazon released this very boring video on how this works:
Few More Interesting Things
- The quick delivery features are still only for Amazon Prime members
- The bot is going to be delivering packages only on weekdays and during daylight hours
- The bot will still be accompanied by an Amazon employee in these early days
- It's especially made for travelling on sidewalks and delivering stuff in these kind of neighborhoods
- Luddites are already hating this cure automated creature
It's Better Than Drones
Scout is grounded and can manage to carry a bigger payload and it's less complicated than navigating airways. I honestly prefer this for most cases than something like a drone.
Happy Hunting

It is crazy to see how much technology is progressing and being integrated into our society. The next logical step would be to completely get rid of postal workers. The question is, how do you stop people from vandalizing and stealing these things?
Congratulations! Your hunt has been reviewed and approved! Thank you for a great hunt.

When I posted my Hunt there was notification that the link has been already posted. The Hunt is from months before the self driving delivery bot was announced which was just a day ago.
The product description has absolutely zero similarity to my Hunt. I did not post about "A machine learning Pinterest competitor. Shop with 👍or 👎"
There has been a change from the side of Amazon or from the Hunter that was not present at the time of my posting. Ther is no way a Hunt is going to come out months before the announcement from the official blog and the product description is worlds apart.
Please check again.
Thank You.
Good points. Both hunts were pointing to the same link. Must have been internal link content change there. Thanks for pointing them out.
Without human now product distributed by bot. But I have little bit confusion
@vimukthi could you tell us about the price and delivery accuracy of this bot?
Ill answer it for you Sire @mawahab ,
I checked out their Blog post.
I guess the delivery is accurate enough? The price for the delivery is I dont know, but it is not for sale I bet.
Thanks for the hunt. It has now updated me on one of the latest developments by Amazon. I like your description of the video being boring. Lol.
Thank you as well for the information that this is only limited to Snohomish county (I wonder what made Amazon choose that place).
Now, about the product, this is definitely a move forward for Amazon. As to when it will be deployed globally, I'm not sure, but is something I definitely look forward to (I also read some news before about Amazon using drones for delivery, I wonder how that is going as well).
For this particular product, I'm quite curious how package owners that the scout is waiting for them outside for them pick up their package. Does it play a loud siren? Another is why they used the word 'scout' for it? And is it only for delivery? How about for pick up?
Anyway, these are questions I'm hoping to find an answer on their site.
Technology made our life much easier day by day as already introduced drones for courier service but they have some dark points. So the company Amizon introduces automatic delievry bot which can deliever any thing in streets. So i think "Amazon Scout" is a first rain drop in this regard and give a positive impact in market.
Hmm not at this moment I guess..
The automatic system is always attractive in every way. This one bot delivery system is cool to deliver packages to everywhere.
Super agree with you @sanach, the bot delivery system is cool (automation plays a big role when it comes to drones)

It looks like a self driving robot with a size of small cooler i like that it has ability to navigate around peoples paths and about anything else that comes across in it's path in addition it follow it's delivery path automatically cool way to delivering packages to customers. Great Hunt

Wao what a great and amazing hunt. I totally appriciate your effort. You find best and perfect product for us. Its look so great. It is very fast delivery bot. This bot deliver foods for offices and other places. It is totally automatic bot. Many other features of this bot. It is speacially for amazon peoples. Really very cool hunt. Everyone like this great hunt. Thanks for sharing.
You are welcome :-)
The hunt is awesome with awesome product ! Thats really compact and advanced delivery bot into real life we can see now . It will make the work load easier and ligher . It will help to boost the business smoothly and efficiently . Security features are nice !
Nice hunt !
It is a cool way of delivery, after the drones, this small autonomous cart capable of delivering our orders directly to us. On the other hand, our presence is always required. This should not please traditional supermarkets with home delivery service. Behind this friendly name hides a robot responsible for making deliveries to individuals who have placed orders.
Awesome! This is great and is going to lead to more automation - in the future the downside might be that it will lead to people not having jobs as a result.
I also like to have someone deliver my products rather than a robot. However, these bots could actually lead to the products on Amazon going down in price as a result :)
Oh wow. I seen this kind of products some days ago. But this one also a great delivery bot.
great hunt
I read this on the news but seeing this on the street is really a different feeling. I am waiting for the day when this bot will not take any help from a companion and can freely move on the street. How the world tech is changing!
But another thing is popping on my mind, as I have seen many people living their life by working as a delivery man. Is this bot is gonna replace them in near future?
very innovative hunt. Thanks for sharing.
When some jobs are ruined, others are created. You have to adjust and change. Robots will also make a lot of things much cheaper and convenient. So everybody would benefit. But those who do not adopt will face problems like Taxi drivers vs Uber/Lyft etc.
Yeah that's very true.

It's cool and cute... But will be stolen or vandalized instantly. Also in my city the sidewalks are crumbling and just gone in places, the decaying corpse of the rest belt needs a tank drone to navigate.
This is actually a real problem.
Curious to find out what stops someone on the sidewalk from walking up and taking your package as it opens. Considering most people with jobs aren't home during delivery hours.
Specifics are yet to be known. It's still just being tested. There is probably anti-theft alarms and police notifications integrated.
Does it deliver one package at a time to one house then go back to the warehouse, or does the customer rifle through everyone's packages and only take their own?
this bot looks really cute and it is a very advanced way of delivering a package by the Amazon. It will reduce the men force and automate the delivery system. Good Hunt!
Wow.. This is really good. This is way better than Drones
