The Urban Value Delivery Robot has the capability to deliver a wide variety of products straight to customers' doorsteps on-demand and in less than an hour. Thanks a partnership between e-commerce provider Vroom Delivery, last-mile delivery robot operator Tortoise and Dallas convenience retailer Urban Value Corner Store, customers can get everything from ice cream, eggs and snacks delivered straight to their doorstep.
A human is always at the wheel of the deliveries and the robots operate on sidewalks at an average speed of about three miles per hour. Each robot is more or less the size of a large cooler and the remotely piloted solutions can safely navigate city streets, even when cars, pets, people and other obstacles are present.
