Robots set to take over deliveries in Dubai forthcoming
In an exciting development for the city of Dubai, Yango Technologies is expanding its robotic grocery and food delivery services, leveraging autonomous delivery robots to enhance speed and efficiency. The cutting-edge service is set to redefine urban logistics, offering contactless, AI-powered food and grocery delivery in less than 20 minutes.
At the heart of this innovation are the Yango Tech Autonomy's autonomous delivery robots, currently operational in Dubai's Sobha Hartland and undergoing pilot tests in Expo City Dubai. These robots, designed to navigate urban environments with ease, aim to revolutionize the way food and groceries are delivered, significantly improving delivery speed.
Yango Tech Robotics has also introduced the Picker Robot, a next-generation system that uses imitation learning to achieve up to 95% accuracy in warehouse product picking. This advanced technology further streamlines order fulfillment processes, making operations more efficient.
In addition to these advancements, Yango Tech offers AI solutions like AInventory—an AI-powered shelf-monitoring camera system that enhances inventory visibility and planogram compliance—and a white-label customer app with dynamic pricing and personalized suggestions. These tools are designed to support retailers in improving customer engagement and operational efficiency.
Yango Tech has formed strategic alliances with key players in the industry. Grand Hypermarkets, a significant partner in driving e-grocery automation in the GCC region, is one such partner. This partnership supports the integration of Yango’s autonomous delivery and inventory technologies in Grand Hypermarkets' operations.
Yango Tech Autonomy is also collaborating with food tech company ROOTS for operational trials and pilot projects involving autonomous delivery robots in Expo City Dubai and Sobha Hartland. This partnership emphasizes efficient, greener delivery solutions using robotics.
Dubai's Expo City Dubai is hosting a four-month pilot project for AI-powered autonomous food delivery robots, highlighting Dubai’s role in fostering innovation in urban logistics and autonomous services.
The testing outcomes have demonstrated successful rapid deliveries and operational viability in real-world settings, marking a significant innovation milestone for e-grocery automation in the region. With over 40% of people who were ordering selecting the robot for delivery when it was an option, it's clear that the people of Dubai are excited about this new service.
As part of the Yango Group, which offers a variety of services including ride-hailing, public transport data, delivery, e-grocery, adtech, maps, entertainment services, and an AI voice assistant, Yango Technologies is poised to lead the way in robot-assisted urban logistics.
