Robomart unveiled the Robomart RM5, a level-four autonomous vehicle that carries up to 500 pounds and contains 10 individual lockers for customer orders. The locker architecture enables batch ordering so a single robot can handle multiple deliveries simultaneously. Robomart plans to operate an autonomous marketplace by partnering with retailers who open storefronts on its app, using a flat $3 delivery fee per order to undercut existing platforms. The company will begin onboarding retailers in Austin, Texas, ahead of a service launch later this year. Robomart began in 2017 and piloted an autonomous "store on wheels" in 2020.
"We see this as building our own autonomous marketplace," Ahmed said.
"That is something that is pretty unique in this space, an autonomous marketplace for on-demand delivery using self-driving robots."
