Project

SIDEWALK – a network of automated city delivery robots. In Logistics last mile costs are 76 % of delivery costs. Automating to make delivery cost extremely low, disrupting the market and opening new opportunities for customers.

The unique aspect of SIDEWALK is the fast, low-cost delivery service it provides. The SIDEWALK robot is able to deliver goods from point A to point B without physical assistance from humans. Additionally, it is capable of carrying a package of up to 20 kg. The SIDEWALK robot accelerates the entire preparation and delivery process and reduces the costs of a delivery. In the future the robot will be fully autonomous and will be able to identify surroundings (image recognition system).
