Meet the autonomous delivery robots shaping the future of food delivery. These could also be used during coronavirus, when everyone is staying at home.

Spatialship
A six-wheeled land drone from Starship Technologies. Equipped with a suite of sensors including cameras, GPS and inertial measurement systems, the robot can deliver items within a 6 km radius. It has a large compartment to hold deliveries equivalent to the size of two grocery bags with a maximum weight of 10 kg. Once the robot arrives at the customer's home, the compartment is opened using a unique code generated after placing the order from a smartphone application. In March 2017, Dominos entered into a partnership with Starship Technologies to use the latter's robots as "personal delivery devices". The company plans to distribute thousands of robots to campuses around the world by 2019.

Kiwi
Kiwi is an autonomous delivery robot that picks up and delivers food and personal care items to an approximately 1.6 square kilometer area centered around campus. The robot uses Deep Learning to correctly interpret the data collected by its sensors and make intelligent decisions that ensure fast, safe and cost-effective delivery. It can correctly identify traffic lights to cross streets and detect objects and obstacles to avoid collisions safely and reliably.

Robotmart
Robomart, a small convenience store on wheels. It is designed with cutting-edge technology, including driverless technology for autonomy and teleoperations, a cashierless system based on RFID and computer vision, and specially designed refrigeration and temperature control. Robots are now used by grocery store chain Stop & Shop to deliver groceries to its customers. When customers want to go shopping, they simply press a button in a smartphone app to request the nearest robomart. Once there, they go out, unlock the doors and choose the products they want. Robomart tracks what customers have taken using patent-pending no-payment / “grab and go” technology and will charge them and send a receipt accordingly.

Retail Telesales Robot
By using artificial intelligence to automate local logistics and minimize the environmental footprint of transportation, TeleRetail wants to help Main Street stores and small businesses compete with large e-commerce companies like Amazon. The robot is made by Swiss startup TeleRetail founded in 2014 by Torsten Scholl with the aim of solving logistics problems for local businesses. With its width of 84 centimeters and the ability to carry up to 35 kilograms of payload, the robot is designed to move on sidewalks, covering long distances of up to around 80 kilometers.

Amazonian Scout
E-commerce giant Amazon is entering the race for autonomous delivery robots. Amazon Scout, a six-wheeled autonomous delivery machine that is "the size of a small cooler." Walking at a human pace, Scout uses self-driving technology to navigate neighborhoods to deliver packages to Amazon Prime customers. The vehicle appears large enough to accommodate small and medium-sized packages, but it's not yet clear what's under the hood.

FedEx SameDay Bot
So far, FedEx SameDay Bot is the latest in a long line of last-mile delivery robots that carry small packages from local stores or distribution centers directly to consumers. FedEx says it will refine it, then begin rolling it out as soon as the company's engineers are satisfied with its performance. The robot is being developed by FedEx in collaboration with DEKA Development & Research Corp., the company behind the iBot mobility device. It includes pedestrian safety technology, multiple cameras, light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and machine learning to help it detect and avoid obstacles and navigate uneven surfaces.

Updates:
Pizza chain Domino announced that it has partnered with Nuro, a robotic delivery startup, to test the use of its robots to transport pizzas from a store in Houston.
