Delivery Robots Legalized in Virginia

Robotics Trends ---- Virginia has become the first state in the US to legalize the use of delivery robots on crosswalks and sidewalks. The law, which takes effect July 1, 2017, allows delivery robots to operate autonomously, but they can’t travel faster than 10 MPH or weigh more than 50 pounds. The law also doesn’t require delivery robots to stay within the visual line of sight of a human operator. However, a human operator needs to remotely monitor the delivery robots at all times in case something goes wrong.
