Delivery Robots
The Last Mile, Solved: Fast, Green, and Gridlock-Proof.
Global supply chains move containers flawlessly, yet the last mile is broken: 2 hours and $20 to deliver a burrito, gridlocked city streets, and merchants losing 30% to delivery apps. Customers are angry at late couriers while drivers burn out.
The sidewalk revolution is here. Autonomous Delivery Robots (ADRs) run on sidewalks and bike lanes, bypassing traffic to serve a 2-mile radius at ultra-low cost. Projected to reach $8.44B by 2033—because it’s the only viable model for local business, not because it looks futuristic.
The “Micro-Logistics” Opportunity
For the first time, local businesses can own their distribution. Shift from gig economy (rented strangers) to bot economy (owned assets). Launch fleets in campus, downtown, and business districts to build a local logistics network big tech can’t reach.
Strategy: From Gig to Bot Economy
Own the Fleet
Deploy bots in dense, 2-mile zones—campuses, downtown grids, business parks—where humans are slow and parking is impossible.
Control the Margins
Replace 30% app fees with predictable fleet costs. Keep unit economics local and profitable.
Scale Without Headcount
Add robots, not recruiters. Bots run 24/7, rain or shine.
Core Applications
Sidewalk Food Delivery (Killer App)
Problem: Apps take 30%; drivers hate short hops; food arrives cold.
Solution: Insulated, secure compartments; shortest pedestrian routes; no parking delays.
Best for: Urban restaurants, ghost kitchens, coffee shops.
Secure Parcel Transport
Problem: Couriers are costly/slow for intra-campus moves; chain of custody risk.
Solution: Rolling safe—only recipient phone code opens. Ideal for legal docs, drives, lab samples.
Best for: Corporate HQs, law firms, tech campuses.
Grocery & Pharmacy Drop-Off
Problem: Micro-orders (aspirin, milk) make vans unprofitable and roads congested.
Solution: Bots handle 15-minute city micro-orders efficiently.
Best for: Local bodegas, pharmacies, convenience stores.
Campus Logistics
Problem: Staff time wasted walking mail and supplies across sprawling grounds.
Solution: Internal fleet loops mail, books, and IT gear automatically.
Best for: Universities and corporate campuses.
Target Markets
- University Campuses (dense, low-speed, tech-friendly)
- Planned Communities / HOAs (secure, quiet, authorized)
- Business Districts (lunch-rush bottlenecks)
- Corporate parks and medical campuses
- Mixed-use downtown corridors
- Airside/landside zones for short-haul parcel moves
