Rivr's robots are partnering with Veho vans to improve 'last-100-yards' parcel delivery in Austin.
Rivr's four-wheeled, stair-climbing delivery robot will transport packages from vans directly to customers' doors in a pilot program.
The partnership aims to tackle challenges in autonomous last-mile delivery, testing technologies and accumulating data for AI frameworks.
Future plans include scaling to 100 bots by next year and thousands by 2027, with a focus on reducing driver workload and enhancing delivery efficiency.
