Autonomous, self-loading and unloading ground-based robots

Project description

An insight into the future of parcel delivery

Last mile is the most important step in the process of e-commerce home delivery. However, despite the continuously improved transportation services, the present landscape remains problematic. Failed deliveries, damaged items, unsustainable costs for delivery, traffic congestion and pollution are a few of the problems that affect end consumers, businesses, society and the environment. The aim of the EU-funded ELIPORT project is to offer an intelligent system of solutions to the current last mile delivery challenges. The project will exclude any human intervention by introducing a fleet of autonomous, ground-based robots that will travel between the pick-up point and the drop-off point, and by automatising the pickup process.
