The vehicle is modular, so it can be equipped with different types of shelves, as well as refrigerators and freezers. The running time of the electric vehicle is said to be eight hours. Also integrated are an autonomy technology stack and a fleet management system for providers with multiple vehicles.
Robomart has already built its first prototype and is seeking an Autonomous Vehicle Testing Permit from California’s Department of Motor Vehicles. In addition, the system allows grocers to gather consumer sales data, expand their store footprint without investing in new property, and manage their Robotmart fleet orders, routing, restocking, and teleoperations.
