The OttOmate Guide to Sidewalk Delivery Robots

From Bizero to Yandex here are the bots making meal drops.

Like just about everything else, the pandemic and labor shortages are driving interest in robot delivery. Delivery robots hold the promise of increasing access to meal and grocery delivery while driving down the price for such a service. Robots also don’t call in sick, work all day and by their nature provide contactless delivery.

There’s actually a ton of activity happening in the delivery robot space right now, so we at OttOmate put together a handy guide to show you which startups are already making robot deliveries right now. This guide focuses on sidewalk robots, so it doesn’t include autonomous low-speed vehicles like the Nuro. But that’s okay because from Bizero to Yandex, we’ve got all the major players covered.

If your stealthy robot startup isn’t on this list, email me and I’ll add them! If your startup is on this list and you have an update to share, email me!
