As TechCrunch reports, the newly-unveiled delivery robot is now capable of delivering goods straight to your doorstep. It's fully automated, and you won't need to meet it to receive your order from a store.
The Yeti robot works with wheels that allow it to move around from one location to another. With the help of rollers, it can easily transfer goods to your locker.
Additionally, the robot can also return the products to the seller if the customer encounters issues with the received order, such as wrong goods, broken seals, and more problems.

What About Ottobot 2.0
With Yeti set to change the game for delivery modes, Ottonomy is now ready to venture into another robot that will serve the public.
According to a report by Engadget this week, another robot dubbed Ottobot 2.0 has a lot of interesting stuff to offer customers.
As such, it's not an ordinary delivery bot that is only tasked to send products to people's homes. There are a lot of customizations to explore through it. It's capable of swapping modular bins that suit various deliveries.
It's suited for grocery and e-commerce product deliveries. If you're worried about its durability, Ottonomy makes sure that it will maintain its temperature thanks to its insulation.
The robot relies on the Contextual Navigation Engine, allowing it to operate seamlessly in different environments. It's also equipped with safety sensors, cameras, and 3D lidar sensors, which are key for fast charging and a safe delivery mechanism.
At the time, Ottonomy said that the service was currently operating all over the globe. The programs are now available in Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and Europe, particularly in Madrid and Oslo.
The company aims to expand its service to bigger markets in North America and even Asia.
"During the validation processes, we ran pilots with airports, retailers, and postal services which gave us the deep insights we needed on the most effective use cases and scalability," co-founder and CEO Ritukar Vijay said.
Ottonomy has collaborated with Verizon to open new doors of opportunity in automation. The partnership looks forward to addressing what existing companies lack in unassisted delivery services.
In this part, it envisions that the technology will greatly help businesses, restaurants, and more.
