Hoboken's 12-month Delivery Robot Pilot Program, in partnership with Coco Robotics and Avride, will begin on September 3rd with 20 robots operating in designated areas. The program's focus is on evaluating the effectiveness of electric delivery robots in enhancing local delivery options while minimizing congestion and promoting pedestrian safety.
Robots will function at pedestrian speeds, yielding to foot traffic and avoiding designated no-go zones. The initiative also aims to gather data on delivery metrics and community feedback. Local residents can access robotic deliveries via existing apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats, with the option to decline robot deliveries if preferred. This pilot may influence future delivery methods in urban settings.
