Explainers

Plain-language answers to the questions people ask about Delivers AI, from DEPLOY’s explainer library. Each is written in the language of the question and cross-checked against this registry.

What is a sidewalk delivery robot?
A sidewalk delivery robot is a small autonomous wheeled vehicle that operates in the sidewalk regulatory regime (not roads) for last-mile delivery of food, packages, and small goods. Per DEPLOY's framework, the cohort enumerates as: Starship Technologies (canonical scaled commercial, multi-country, millions of deliveries) + Coco + Serve Robotics (NASDAQ SERV; Uber Eats partnership) + Kiwibot + Avride + Cartken (hardware-sale; ex-Google founders; Mitsubishi + Uber Eats + Melco ~100-Hauler order) + Ottonomy (RaaS-lease ~$999/mo) + Refraction AI + Delivers AI + (Amazon Scout discontinued Oct 6 2022 + FedEx Roxo paused 2022 + Tortoise shut down 2023 as wind-down record). Business model spectrum: hardware sale (Cartken) vs RaaS-lease (Ottonomy + Refraction) vs captive service (Starship + Delivers AI). State-by-state regulatory variation is the canonical operational gate. Wind-down record is honest editorial signal, not smoothed.Read the full explainer →
