Challenge:

Many businesses have started to rectify their last-mile delivery operations. Their current operational process is to hire third-party courier companies, and it is very inefficient as it requires an astonishing amount of effort and time. Furthermore, as e-commerce continues to thrive, it will cause an upsurge in parcel deliveries and other issues, especially in densely populated cities.

Solution:

Techie is a smart navigation delivery robot built by Azimorph, seeking to eliminate the need for door-to-door deliveries. The robot would navigate its way toward the consumer’s house according to the time selected by the consumer beforehand. Afterwhich, Techie will return to the centralized bay to charge or load up more parcels. Techie comes with a safety feature that stops it when danger or unforeseen circumstances are detected, for example, a human in its path, construction zones, or roadblocks.

Result:

• Reduced manpower cost, no need for last mile delivery drivers
• Reduced cars on the road, decreasing traffic congestion
• Reduced vehicle pollution
• Faster than traditional couriers, would not be stuck in the traffic or subjected to any delivery drivers’ schedule
• Do not require rest like delivery drivers, able to work 24/7
