Co-op's robot grocery delivery trial has gone live in Leeds today - its first launch in the north. Here's all you need to know about the bots!
Users can watch their robot’s progress in real time and receive an alert when it arrives. Starship unveiled the technology in 2018, and it has been rolled out mainly in the south of England so far, with pilots in Cambridge, Northampton, Bedford and Milton Keynes.
Starship promotes the robots as environmentally friendly, taking delivery vans off the road, and claim an average journey consumes a similar amount of energy to boiling a kettle.They can cross roads safely, navigate around people and street objects, are battery-powered and travel no faster than 4mph. Their navigation aids enable them to choose the quickest and safest route and their contents are secure, with only the customer able to unlock them.
“Since the pandemic, we have seen a huge increase in the number of home deliveries. This pilot will be transformative and will provide an alternative home delivery provision which will particularly benefit residents with mobility problems or those facing other challenges which make accessing local facilities difficult.”
