About
Scout is Amazon’s first autonomous mobile delivery platform, launched in January 2019. Up until early 2023, it was carrying packages to customer homes in select neighborhoods of Washington and California.
Scout uses its narrow frame, 6-wheel drive-train and suite of sensors to safely navigate sidewalks, roads and neighborhood terrain. Its light ring helps communicate motion intent to pedestrians and other vehicles.
Greg was lead industrial designer from December 2018 through April 2019. He worked from the ground-up, including:
Sensor architecture definition and integration
Device visibility and UX lighting architecture
Mechanical safety and pinch points mitigation
Durability, water ingress mitigation
Package loading and receiving ergonomics
Overall look and feel of device
