In Markham, Ontario, a pilot project using orange food delivery robots is being tested by Skip and Real Life Robotics. This initiative marks Canada’s first municipally approved sidewalk delivery operation and has already completed hundreds of orders successfully. The robots, guided by human companions, explore urban delivery viability, aiming to gauge interest in automation among consumers. Customers ordering via the Skip app can opt for robot delivery, which is facilitated through an automated process involving QR code scanning for order pickup. Markham city officials expressed pride in pioneering smart mobility innovation through this initiative.
