# Robotic Urban Package Couriers The 'PAC' Autonomous Concierge Vehicle Transforms Parcel Delivery By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2019-03-28 | Autos Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-concierge-vehicle References: [yankodesign](https://www.yankodesign.com/2019/03/28/future-promises-on-time-delivery-with-this-autonomous-hub-and-its-minions/) Package delivery is going to undergo quite the change in the near future as we shift towards [robotic solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golerobotics-aa2), so the conceptual 'PAC' autonomous concierge vehicle gives us a glimpse of what might be in store. Designed by Fynn Eckstein, the system works through two main components including the Microhub and Satellites: the Microhub will carry parcels into an urban space, while the Satellites will perform the [last mile delivery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fastport-equad). This aims to optimize the [parcel delivery process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/its-here-delivery) and will even keep recipients informed of the status of their package by sending them a smartphone message. The conceptual 'PAC' autonomous concierge vehicle -- 'PAC' standing for "personal autonomous concierge" -- identifies how business infrastructure will change in urban environments as robotics become more commonplace. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 9% | Activity: 60% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Robotic Package Delivery:** The use of autonomous vehicles in package delivery is disrupting traditional courier services and optimizing the delivery process. - **Urban Robotics:** The integration of robotics in urban spaces is transforming the way goods and services are transported and distributed. - **Smart Parcel Tracking:** Real-time updates and notifications through smartphone messages are revolutionizing the way recipients track and receive their packages. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Logistics:** The logistics industry is being disrupted by the introduction of robotic package delivery systems, offering more efficient and cost-effective solutions. - **Robotics:** The robotics industry is driving innovation in autonomous vehicles, enhancing their capabilities for urban package delivery. - **Technology:** Advancements in smart parcel tracking technology are reshaping how businesses and consumers manage the shipment and delivery of packages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Interactive Autonomous Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robo-a2z-delivery-vehicle.md) - [Compartmentalized Robotic Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzy-bot.md) - [Shapeshifting Delivery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-system.md) - [Human-Robot Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seoyon-ehwa-automatic-sorting-system.md) - [Smiling Package Delivery Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coop-delivery-robot.md) - [IoT Package Delivery Pods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyve-home-delivery-pod.md) - [Friendly Business Delivery Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/autonomous-delivery-truck.md) - [End-To-End Parcel Delivery Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/endtoend-parcel-delivery-platform.md) - [Contactless Lunch Delivery Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchbox-delivery-robot.md)
