4 October 2024 - Serve Robotics in San Francisco has tamed with Google's Wing Aviation to use Serve's ground delivery robots with Wing's drone autoloader which will enable deliveries up to six miles away.
Serve Robotics says the robot-to-drone delivery will enable merchants to tap into drone delivery without any changes to their facilities or workflow and extend the delivery area for sidewalk delivery robots. This collaboration represents an important step towards enabling highly automated delivery.
"At Wing, we have been delivering food and other goods directly to consumers for over five years, completing more than 400,000 commercial deliveries across three continents. We have a proven ability to make deliveries quickly and efficiently," said Adam Woodworth, CEO at Wing. "Both Wing and Serve offer innovative solutions that are changing the way goods are delivered. Through this pilot partnership, Wing hopes to reach more merchants in highly-congested areas while supporting Serve as it works to expand its delivery radius."
