Amazon rolls out Scout, a robot that helps deliver packages, in Irvine

After testing delivery robots near its home base in Seattle, Amazon has expanded its trial use of Scout to Irvine.
“We’re still in field test mode and our expansion to the Irvine area is just another in the many steps forward for this new delivery system,” a recent Amazon blog post said.
Scout is a blue, six-wheeled, electric robot about the size of a large drink cooler that travels on the sidewalk and can apparently maneuver around obstacles such as skateboards and trash cans,
