Delivery robot specs compared
There is no single "best" delivery robot - they split into two classes. Sidewalk robots (Starship, Serve, Coco, Avride) are small and slow: Starship tops out at 3.7 mph but is by far the most deployed, while Avride and Serve carry the most among them at about 50 to 55 lb. DoorDash's Dot is the fastest sidewalk-class machine at 20 mph. Nuro's R3 dwarfs them all at roughly 500 lb, but it is a road-going delivery vehicle, not a sidewalk robot, so its numbers are not comparable. Every spec below shows its source: an operator spec sheet, a press report, or a third-party aggregator.
Specs are sourced from the DEPLOY registry. How we verify.
The spec sheet
One row per operator. The provenance marker on each row shows where its figures come from: a DEPLOY VERIFIED mark means the operator's own spec sheet; a Company-claimed mark means a press report or a third-party aggregator, not the operator's own sheet. Cells marked N/A are not published. Nuro's R3 is a road-going vehicle, not a sidewalk robot (see the note below the table).
| Provenance | Robot | Maker | Payload | Top speed | Range / endurance | Weight | Dimensions | Sensors / autonomy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company-claimed | Gen3 | Serve Robotics | 50 lb (23 kg) | 11 mph | ~48 mi / ~14 hr endurance | 73 kg (161 lb) | 1200 x 600 x 600 mm | Ouster REV7 digital lidar |
| DEPLOY VERIFIED | Coco 2 | Coco Robotics | 90 liters cargo volume (about 6 pizzas) | 21 kph (13 mph) | 32 km (20 mi) | N/A | N/A | NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX (onboard compute) |
| DEPLOY VERIFIED | Starship robot | Starship Technologies | 22 lb (10 kg) | 3.7 mph (6 km/h) | 1260 Wh battery | ~50 lb (23 kg) | 697 x 569 x 571 mm | Cameras + machine vision |
| DEPLOY VERIFIED | Gen2 | Avride | 55 lb (25 kg) | 5 mph (8 km/h) | 31 mi (50 km) | N/A | N/A | Updated sensor suite |
| Company-claimed | Dot | DoorDash | 30 lb | 20 mph | All-electric (range not published) | N/A | 4-wheeled (dimensions not published) | Radar + lidar |
| Company-claimed | R3road-going | Nuro | ~500 lb (227 kg) | 25 mph (R2 figure) | Fully electric | 2,535 lb (R2 figure) | Dual 27 cu ft compartments (about 765 L) | Lidar + cameras |
Class note: the Nuro R3 is a road-going autonomous delivery vehicle (car-class), not a sidewalk robot. Its ~500 lb payload and 25 mph top speed are a different class from the sidewalk robots and are not directly comparable to, for example, Starship's 3.7 mph. Some Nuro figures are derived from the earlier R2 and are labeled (R2 figure) in the table.
Coco 2's 90 liters is a cargo volume (roughly 6 pizzas), not a weight payload. Cells marked N/A are not published by the operator.
