In a first in Switzerland, Dutch food delivery giant Just Eat Takeaway.com has partnered with Swiss robotics firm RIVR to launch autonomous robot dogs for food delivery, starting with a pilot program in Zurich. The wheeled-legged “robo-dogs” can climb stairs, navigate obstacles, and walk at speeds of up to 15 km/h, operating in rain, snow, or heat. Each delivery is monitored in real time with remote-control capability. If successful, the project will expand to other European cities and potentially into retail and convenience store deliveries later this year.
