The robot features a [compact, four-wheel design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/avride-robot) that would be destined for urban areas to help get deliveries between locations on city streets as it avoids obstacles and pedestrians alike. The unit would have a contact-free design that would require recipients to simply scan the QR code on top to open it up before heading back to the dispatch location. The conceptual EQ Delivery Pod has a [Mercedes-Benz](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mercedesbenz-egq)-inspired design that, while only in the design phase as of now, could gain traction in the near future as the market adapts. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 52% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [AI](https://www.trendhunter.com/ai) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Contactless Delivery Robots:** There is an opportunity for businesses to invest in contactless delivery robots to safely and efficiently deliver packages. - **Last-mile Delivery Solutions:** There is potential for companies to innovate in the last-mile delivery sector to improve delivery times and reduce costs. - **QR Code Delivery Verification:** QR code verification for contactless delivery could become a standard, leading to new opportunities for businesses to develop this technology. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Delivery Services:** The delivery industry could benefit from investing in last-mile delivery robots to improve their delivery times and reduce costs. - **Robotics:** The robotics industry has an opportunity to develop new, innovative designs for last-mile delivery robots. - **Transportation:** The transportation industry could potentially integrate contactless delivery robots to improve their logistics movements and reduce human interaction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Compartmentalized Robotic Delivery Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzy-bot.md) - [Friendly Efficient Delivery Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pat-autonomous-delivery-robot.md) - [Contactless Lunch Delivery Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lunchbox-delivery-robot.md) - [Shapeshifting Delivery Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modular-mobility-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) - [Compact Last-Mile Delivery Bikes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cargo-bike-concept.md) - [Food Delivery eBike Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dvil-electric-bike-concept.md)
