AI Robo-Delivery-Dogs Hit Zurich in Just Eat Urban Logistics Pilot

What Happened

Just Eat has started a new pilot in Zurich, Switzerland, using AI-powered robo-delivery-dogs to bring food orders to customers. These robotic delivery units, operated in partnership with local tech partners, navigate the city streets autonomously, aiming to demonstrate safe and efficient last-mile delivery in real urban environments. This marks one of the first times that Just Eat is exploring AI-driven delivery solutions outside of laboratory or closed-campus settings. The pilot will assess how local residents respond to the technology, its impact on delivery times, and whether it offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional courier methods. If successful, Just Eat could expand the use of AI-driven delivery robots throughout Switzerland and potentially other European markets.
