Delivers AI YEBO (YEmeksepeti BOt) sidewalk delivery robots launched in Istanbul, Turkey on May 5, 2022, operated by Yemeksepeti (Delivery Hero subsidiary), Turkey's largest food delivery platform.

The initial deployment launched in the Caddebostan neighborhood of Istanbul with approximately 10 robots serving a 2 km delivery radius from 10 participating restaurants. Orders are placed through the Yemeksepeti mobile app; the robots navigate sidewalks autonomously, can climb curbs up to 15 cm, and maintain food temperature in an insulated compartment.

In November 2023 Yemeksepeti expanded the program to Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Ayazaga Campus, enabling on-campus food delivery. The campus deployment marked an expansion into controlled pedestrian environments alongside street-level urban operations.

Delivers AI (Israel-based) co-developed the YEBO platform with Yemeksepeti. The company stated plans to expand to 11 European cities by end of summer 2022.
