"The company's latest expansion is in collaboration with DoorDash's delivery-only online store, DashMart. Coco robots will fulfill select DashMart orders, which can include fresh groceries, cleaning products and electronics. The DashMart partnership could drastically expand the role of delivery bots in everyday purchases. Instead of being limited to restaurant deliveries, the bots can now carry goods from Target, Lowe's and Petco."
"The bots are already a common sight in L.A., where they have been delivering hot meals from restaurants since April through a partnership with DoorDash. The pink and orange machines, about the size of a large cooler, roam sidewalks from Santa Monica to Silver Lake. Coco Robotics operates hundreds of robots in Los Angeles and plans to deploy 10,000 more across the country in 2026."
Coco Robotics is expanding autonomous delivery to transport everyday essentials and groceries for DashMart customers in Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami. The robots previously delivered hot meals in Los Angeles through a DoorDash partnership and will now fulfill select DashMart orders including fresh groceries, cleaning products and electronics. Hundreds of robots operate in Los Angeles, completing over 500,000 zero-emission deliveries and traveling around 1 million miles. The company plans to deploy 10,000 additional robots nationwide in 2026. The machines, about the size of a large cooler, have drawn both convenience praise and vandalism.
