Delivery robots are autonomous machines that deliver packages right to customers' doorsteps without the need for any human involvement. Without a human driver, delivery robots can maneuver through crowds of people and crowded areas. The demand for products to be purchased online has increased as a result of increased internet usage and the growth of the e-commerce sector, necessitating the development of more effective delivery methods. Thus, the corporations have implemented a variety of product delivery services, including delivery robots.

The expansion of the e-commerce industry and need for contactless delivery are predicted to be the main drivers of the worldwide delivery robot market. With the development of online shopping and consumers' propensity to purchase goods from an online source, the demand for a better and more effective delivery service for the products has developed. Additionally, to complete last-mile deliveries of items, online merchants and grocery chains like Big Basket, Flipkart, and Amazon are creating delivery robots. However, the market's ability to grow is significantly constrained by the limited operating range of ground delivery robots and the strict rules governing their use.
Industry sectors that largely use autonomous delivery robots include food and beverage, retail, hotel, and healthcare. Comparing these robots to conventional electric vehicles reveals how much more effective and energy-saving they are. As a result, a number of venture capital firms are providing funding to businesses creating delivery robots. Just over 30 days after its previous financial infusion, Starship Technologies, one of the major contenders in the autonomous delivery robot business, raised further money in March 2022. The company has chosen to invest USD 42 million in stock, increasing the company's overall valuation to USD 100 million. NordicNinja and Taavet+Sten jointly led the most recent Series B all-equity investment. Participants included TDK Ventures and Goodyear, two prior strategic sponsors. The company currently makes roughly 10,000 deliveries every day while running a fleet of 1,700 robots. The company will use the Series B capital to increase its presence, operate more quickly in the US and Europe, and fund new projects.
If a user or adjacent human is harmed by the delivery robot, most western legal authorities hold the manufacturer liable for the tort of carelessness. As a result, the deployment of autonomous delivery cars in cities has been delayed due to the underlying risk and liabilities. Since delivery robots utilize cameras to capture and gather customer data while delivering packages, businesses must also abide by privacy and data protection rules. The mechanisms for data acquisition and retention are governed by federal, state, and municipal agencies. Therefore, delivery robot businesses must be aware of data protection laws and make sure that the information they acquire is handled in accordance with such laws.
Advanced electronics are used in autonomous delivery robots to provide reliable, efficient, and safe operations. Delivery vehicles are undergoing a number of technological developments with regard to better power sources, data collection, and processing technologies. Delivery vehicles primarily use lithium-ion batteries. However, because of their superior endurance and light weight, hydrogen fuel cell batteries are anticipated to be employed in autonomous delivery vehicles in the future. Additionally, firms that produce delivery robots are working to equip their vehicles with sensing and obstacle-avoidance technologies. Furthermore, the design and functionality of delivery robots have evolved as a result of technical developments including sensor technology, AI, and 5G technology. For instance, 5G networks might speed up the transmission of a significant amount of data and the responsiveness of IoT network-connected devices, as well as the use and processing of real-time data and data sharing with GPS or devices with built-in cameras.
With the expansion of the culture of working from home and the shift in consumer cooking habits, post-pandemic trends in the food sector for online ordering gained momentum. Due to their ability to reduce delivery costs and improve customer satisfaction through safer, cleaner, and contactless delivery, delivery robots have grown in popularity. With the aid of object detection technology, major businesses are implementing artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), and machine learning (ML) technologies in their product range to comprehend the environment and manage paths for quick delivery. For instance, using electric drive systems and a combination of LiDAR and radar sensors, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to guide their deliveries, Starship Technologies is making them simpler and smarter.
To give another example, the Hyundai Motor Group launched a test project for delivery services across the hotel sector in December 2022. With a load bearing capability of up to 10 kg and LiDAR and camera solutions, the product makes it easier to recognize objects and delivers them to customers in hotels in a more secure manner. These elements are expected to fuel market expansion.
