Delivery robots set to hit the streets of Peachtree Corners

Peachtree Corners has announced Estonian robot delivery startup Clevon is joining the city’s Curiosity Lab ecosystem where its carriers’ suburban delivery capabilities will be evaluated in depth.

The company’s autonomous robot carriers (ARCs), powered by T-Mobile connectivity, are designed to collect orders at warehouses, retail stores, dark stores and micro-fulfilment centres, and then deliver those goods to people and businesses around the city.

Customer delivery experience

According to Clevon, its fully electric ARCs have customisable configurations, to “fulfil a multitude of business needs and offer an efficient and timely customer delivery experience”. The company claims the robots can reduce failed deliveries, carbon emissions, cost of delivery per customer and stolen packages.

Clevon has already launched a commercial service in the US in collaboration with PostNet and the support of the town of Northlake, Texas.

“A future-forward environment like this is invaluable to our continued efforts to optimise autonomous robot carrier operation, including how they will navigate through real-world situations”

“It was only fitting to bring our second major operation here in the United States to one of the most advanced smart city environments in the world at Peachtree Corners,” said Sander Sebastian Agur, chief executive officer, Clevon.

“A future-forward environment like this – complete with city-owned smart infrastructure, T-Mobile’s best-in-class network and opportunities to interact with connected vehicles and people and businesses – is invaluable to our continued efforts to optimise autonomous robot carrier operation, including how they will navigate through real-world situations.”
