Starship robot aims to reduce delivery costs

Published on Nov 2, 2015


A new robot developed by one of the original founders of Skype could help reduce the price we pay for deliveries - and possibly make them free in the future. Starship drives autonomously to the shopper's doorway and then texts an alert message to announce its arrival. The low speed robot is designed to drive for a few miles from a local hub or a shop and can only carry small loads.
The company is currently testing its prototypes and hopes to launch pilot services in the UK next year.
BBC Click's Talia Franco spoke to Ahti Heinla about his new robot.

We're proud to announce Starship Delivery Robots have now completed 1,000,000 autonomous deliveries around the world.

We were unsure where the one millionth delivery was going to take place, as there are around 15-20 service areas open globally, all with robots doing deliveries every minute. In the end it took place at Bowling Green, Ohio, to a student called Annika Keeton who is a freshman studying pre-health Biology at BGSU. Annika is now part of Starship’s history!
