Companies and governments around the world are stepping up to preoccupy the autonomous delivery robot market.



The Korean government also announced that it would ease regulations so that delivery robots can travel in India without field personnel, but reporter Jung Joon-ho covered what tasks remain.

The autonomous driving robot stops in front of the crossing and crosses the road after confirming that the car has passed.



Open the body lid to receive the delivery and head to the destination.



Until now, each delivery robot had to be accompanied by one field worker.



However, in the future, autonomous delivery without on-site personnel will be possible if reliability such as a remote management system is proven.



A self-driving delivery robot that saves labor costs and is non-face-to-face.



Not only companies around the world, but also governments are stepping up to dominate the market.



In the United States, related laws were revised six years ago to allow pedestrians in 20 states, and in China, autonomous robots are running in schools and city roads.



The Korean government has decided to amend the law so that autonomous driving robots can travel in India from next year, which was originally targeted for 2025.



Although we have taken the first step in deregulation, there are still many restrictions, such as the collection of camera data required for autonomous driving is limited due to concerns about privacy infringement, and robots weighing 30 kg or more are prohibited from entering the park.



This is why there are voices saying that laws and regulations are still not keeping up with the pace of technological development.

However, since such time has been lacking so far, I hope this starts sooner rather than later...

However, thorough safety verification must precede the deregulation.
