the segway ‘loomo delivery’ robot accommodates many business demands. its various replaceable containers can be used to transport different goods, such as your team’s morning coffees or even your friend’s birthday present ordered at the last-minute from amazon. in total, these containers offer a volume of 70 liters and a carrying capacity of 50kg.

aiming to be the future of the delivery workforce, the autonomous bot connects to either wifi or 4G and its cloud-based navigation system. this management helps it perform map updates, dynamic scheduling and real-time monitoring. to ensure deliveries are made on time no matter what, ‘loomo delivery’ additionally features dynamic obstacle avoidance and even works on slopes of 8-degrees too. with over eight hours of running time, the robot can use an automatic charging station after a long day of work.
