Corridors/Monthly report
State of the robot corridors
August 2026
As of August 2026, DEPLOY maps 13 robot corridors across 8 US cities, tracking where machines can operate on public rights-of-way. 8 have a documented regulatory posture. San Francisco runs the most restrictive documented regime: a hard cap of 9 delivery robots citywide.
1 of 8 documented markets impose a device cap; the rest permit robots without a numeric limit, most under statewide personal-delivery-device laws. 8 distinct fleets operate across the network, with 2 documented pending launches.
