The delivery company Evri plans to test the use of robotic dogs for parcel delivery in the UK, aiming to improve the efficiency of "Last Mile Delivery" and reduce the workload of couriers. This robotic dog, developed by Swiss company RIVR, features highly automated technology that allows it to autonomously jump on and off delivery vans without a leash. Evri's Chief Technology Officer stated that the purpose of this experiment is to find innovative solutions that support couriers and enhance service speed and convenience.
Evri uses robots to assist with work in order to improve efficiency, and recently, more and more companies have started doing this, with one delivery company planning to use robotic dogs for delivery services. Evri will conduct a pilot in the UK for "last-mile delivery" to alleviate the workload of couriers. When you see a robotic dog "unloading" at your doorstep via the doorbell, please do not be surprised.
If you have experience living in the UK, you should be familiar with Evri's services, as sometimes Amazon deliveries also rely on this company to complete them. Currently, Evri plans to start using robotic dogs for package delivery this summer, which is one of their multiple robot testing projects aimed at assisting couriers.
According to Evri, the robotic dogs developed by Swiss company RIVR are "leash-free" and, thanks to highly automated technology, these robotic dogs can easily move from delivery trucks. The focus of this collaboration is on how to enable the robotic dogs to effectively collaborate with couriers to enhance work efficiency, support heavier physical tasks, and reduce the burden on delivery personnel.
Evri's Chief Technology Officer stated that their business is centered around couriers, and the purpose of experimenting with robotic dogs for delivery is to find innovative ways to support couriers, improve service speed and convenience, and even develop new solutions to complement existing delivery services.
