Release the hounds… meet Evri’s delivery dog
Forget Woosh, here comes Woof! Parcels courier Evri has launched a trial for its new delivery robots in Barnsley. The dog-like electric robots will work in tandem with human staff to cut down delivery times.
The fleet has AI-powered navigation and obstacle detection and will deliver directly to customers. Barnsley recently played host to the robots for three months and the company is now looking at the feasibility of rolling them out across the UK in the future.
Marcus Hunter, Chief Technology Officer at Evri said: “It can sit at a doorstep for a number of minutes rather than, you know, the courier likes to deliver as quickly and efficiently, as effectively as possible.
“So, for example, if you were to take the case of somebody who’s got a disability, it can sit on the doorstep for 10 minutes for that parcel.”
