Robot Delivers Packages Through Sewers

Robot Delivers Packages Through SewersAs cities get more crowded, it will be more difficult for UPS and the Postal service to get around in their trucks full of packages. So what do you do? You make like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and take to the sewers. Well, not you. Robots. Hopefully they don’t drop your packages in sewer water.

The Urban Mole is a capsule that travels through existing networks of underground pipes to transport packages like groceries, signed documents or even your Amazon order. The Mole frees up our streets and roads making traffic less congested.

It can move parcels as large as a shoebox and fully encapsulates its contents from surrounding wastewater. Thank god.
