Quikbot (robot courier)

History

2024: Product Announcement

At the end of November 2024, Singapore-based QuikBot Technologies introduced the Autonomous Final-mile Delivery (AFMD) platform. Special courier robots are able to effectively move not only through the streets, but also inside buildings, including using elevators.

It is noted that delivery costs are increasing around the world, while the logistics sector, especially in urban areas, is facing a shortage of labor. At the same time, sections of the "last mile" account for more than 50% of the cost and over half of all carbon emissions during delivery. This creates certain difficulties in supply chains. Therefore, according to QuikBot, eliminating inefficiencies is of great importance for supporting the growth of e-commerce. The new platform is designed to solve existing problems.

Quikbot offers robots that deliver packages between buildings and across floors. The system combines three key components - Quikbox, Quikcat and Quikfox. Quikbox modules are special smart containers with six independent compartments for parcels. These devices are equipped with video surveillance cameras and a touchscreen display through which the client can enter the access code to his cell. Quikcat is an autonomous robot for moving short distances, designed to quickly deliver one Quikbox container. In turn, Quikfox can transport three Quikbox modules and transfer them to the Quikcat robot for delivery in the last stage.

The platform, according to the developer, can reduce delivery costs and time by optimizing routes and reducing the need for regular couriers. In addition, the carbon footprint is reduced by the use of electric motors.^[1]
