The Russian government has introduced an experimental legal regime for the use of delivery robots (rovers) as part of digital and technological innovation in the field of transport and logistics services.
The Russian government has approved an experimental legal regime for the use of rovers - delivery robots - for three years in 34 regions of the country and the federal territory of Sirius, follows from the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers.
“Establish an experimental legal regime in the field of digital and technological innovation for the provision of transport and logistics services using rovers... The experimental legal regime is valid for three years,” the document says.
An experimental legal regime will be established in the territories of Bashkiria, Tatarstan, Udmurtia, Chuvashia, Krasnodar, Krasnoyarsk, Perm and Primorsky territories, Moscow, St. Petersburg, the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug and the federal territory "Sirius".

The document also establishes requirements for delivery robots and the rules for their movement. In addition, liability for violation of traffic rules by the rover has been determined.
The rovers used in the experiment must weigh no more than 120 kilograms and accelerate no faster than 25 kilometers per hour. The width of the robot is no more than 80 centimeters, and the length is no more than 120 centimeters. The rover must have a device for video recording and white headlights located in the front of the body.
In addition, an identification number will need to be installed on the robots.
Depending on the conditions of the road infrastructure, rovers in the experiment can drive on bicycle paths, sidewalks, residential areas and roadsides with certain speed limits.
