Designer: Kim Wright
'Snail mail' is
finally receiving an upgrade, thanks to the development of 'RoboPost'
the robotic mailbox. RoboPost will look like an ordinary mailbox, but
with one major difference: after the mail is delivered, it will lower
itself from its stake and automatically drive up to its charging base
near your doorstep. From here, you can easily retrieve the mail or
place outgoing letters into the mailbox. After it has recharged its
batteries, RoboPost automatically returns to its stake at the end of
your driveway.
RoboPost is in development as part of the University of Florida's Intelligent Machine Design Laboratory. Design status is updated through weekly progress reports and various other documents. For more information, please visit the links below.
