Technical approach

As reported
Autonomous Navigation

Level 4 autonomous operation

Robots operate fully autonomously on city sidewalks without remote operators, navigating pedestrian areas and crossing streets independently.

Platform

Integrated delivery system

Robots integrate with third-party delivery platforms (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Grubhub), receiving orders and routes directly through APIs.

Fleet Management

Distributed fleet scaling

Multi-robot deployments allow parallel deliveries across a city without waiting for a single robot to complete a trip.
