Robomart's RM5 is an autonomous electric delivery van equipped with 10 individual lockers enabling multiple store pickups and multiple parcel deliveries to different customers per route. Customers pay a single flat $3 delivery fee regardless of order size, with no markups, service fees, or tips added. The driverless design aims to reduce delivery costs by up to 70% compared with human-driven services. The RM5 travels on public roads at speeds up to 25 mph, offering faster service than sidewalk robots. The vehicle measures 146.6 inches long, 56 inches wide, 82.6 inches tall, weighs 2,205 pounds, and has a maximum range of 112 miles on a full charge.
The storage locker on wheels you see below might look a little funny, but it promises to slash personal grocery delivery costs by a fair bit. It's called the RM5 and it's the brainchild of Los Angeles-based startup Robomart, which says that by taking the human driver out of the equation, the cost of a delivery can go down by up to 70%.
Robomart's autonomous delivery vehicle has 10 individual lockers, which enable it to make multiple stops at grocery stores for a single delivery. It can also deliver multiple parcels to different customers. Whatever the size of the order, though, the startup says that an individual customer will only have to pay a flat $3 fee, which is lower than what competing services like UberEats and DoorDash usually charge. What's more, because there is no driver, the company promises "no markups, no service fees, no tips."
