Serve Robotics and Wing Launch Robot-to-Drone Delivery Pilot in Dallas
The partnership aims to enhance last-mile delivery efficiency by combining sidewalk robots and flying drones for citywide coverage.
- Serve Robotics and Alphabet's Wing are collaborating to test a new delivery model combining sidewalk robots and drones in Dallas, Texas.
- The pilot project will see Serve's robots pick up orders from restaurants and transfer them to Wing's drones for final delivery up to six miles away.
- This initiative seeks to overcome the limitations of both delivery methods, with robots navigating urban environments and drones covering longer distances.
- The service promises 30-minute autonomous deliveries without requiring restaurants to modify their facilities or workflows.
- Both companies aim to reduce traffic congestion and delivery costs while expanding their market reach in highly congested urban areas.
