Serve Robotics and Wing Partner to Expand Autonomous Delivery, Increasing Reach and Efficiency
- Serve robots enable pick-up in dense urban areas, as Wing drones expand Serve delivery radius
- Robot-to-drone solution will enable fast, affordable restaurant delivery over 6 mile radius
In the coming months, select Wing deliveries will be picked up by a Serve delivery robot from the restaurant's curbside and delivered to a Wing drone AutoLoader a few blocks away, for aerial delivery to customers as much as 6 miles away.
Robot-to-drone delivery will enable merchants to tap into drone delivery without any changes to their facilities or workflow and significantly extend the delivery area for sidewalk delivery robots. This collaboration represents an important step towards enabling highly automated delivery as the preferred mode of delivery for the millions of small packages delivered every day around the world.
"We're excited to partner with Wing to offer a multi-modal delivery experience that expands our market from roughly half of all food deliveries that are within 2 miles of a restaurant, to offering 30 minute autonomous delivery across an entire city," said Dr.
"At Wing, we have been delivering food and other goods directly to consumers for over five years, completing more than 400,000 commercial deliveries across three continents. We have a proven ability to make deliveries quickly and efficiently," said
Robot to drone delivery offer benefits to both merchants and customers, including:
- Fast: Wing drones fly above the gridlock and Serve robots operate exclusively on sidewalks, so deliveries avoid being snarled in street traffic.
- Cost Efficient: Drones and robots both lower delivery costs for the operator and consumer with no need for tipping.
- Environmentally-Conscious: Both fully-electric, Wing and Serve reduce vehicle emissions associated with food delivery, as well as reducing traffic and congestion.
- Safe: By keeping vehicles off the roads, Serve and Wing help to cut down on traffic accidents.
- Convenient: Curbside robotic package pickup allows merchants to access drone delivery without modifying their facilities or installing new equipment.
