Delayed food and drink deliveries could soon be a thing of the past as autonomous delivery robots start to appear in shopping malls and office buildings, making deliveries faster, smarter and more cost-efficient.
Segway Robotics, a wholly owned subsidiary of Beijing-based high-tech startup Segway-Ninebot has launched an autonomous delivery robot in Chaoyang Joy City in Chaoyang district of Beijing.
Wang Ye, president of Segway-Ninebot said the robot can carry 50 kilograms and travel at a maximum speed of 1.2 meters per second. It can work for 10 hours a day, travel in elevators on its own, avoid pedestrians and obstacles intelligently at any time, as well as design optimal paths.
"When the robot arrives at an elevator, it will send instructions to the central control system of the elevator via a wireless network, and then the doors will open," Wang said.
