.@snapdeal has said that it has successfully tested robots for e-commerce deliveries. Snapdeal has partnered with autonomous mobility startup #OttonomyIO to deliver ‘sanitized’ packages.
During the test run for the #robotdelivery in Delhi, the robots were placed at the gates of societies where a delivery agent came and placed the parcel in a compartment inside the robot.
The robot then uses the societies’ map to deliver the goods at the customer’s doorstep. According to @snapdeal, these robots are also equipped with ultraviolet lighting to ‘disinfect the packet while navigating to the delivery location’.
“We believe that delivery robots will have a unique role to play in e-commerce deliveries in large townships, institutional campuses, and other managed residential environments." says @snapdeal's spokesperson
"Contactless delivery via robotic vehicles is a step in building a safer and convenient future for shoppers”, said @snapdeal spokesperson. Snapdeal also said that it is investing heavily in artificial intelligence and machine learning to develop future-oriented capabilities.
Global e-commerce giant #Amazon also created a new team that will work on autonomous deliveries called #AmazonScout. These robots, like the one by #OttonomyIO, will be able to roll along sidewalks and deliver parcels.
While the #COVID19 pandemic has accelerated the need for contactless deliveries, it is worthy to note that for robot-led deliveries in India to work, it requires a massive overhaul in infrastructure and policy.
Forget making back money, it looks like Brahmastra is taking down PVR & Inox investors with itself. With early reviews pouring cold water on #Brahmastra’s prospects, India’s largest theater chains PVR & Inox have cumulatively lost over ₹800 crore in market capitalization today.
