Dubai, UAE - Kiwibot, a leading last-mile robotic delivery company, and Aramex, a leading global provider of logistics and transportation solutions, are excited to announce the successful testing of drone and robotic delivery along the road in the UAE.

‍

The common vision for last-mile delivery combines the strengths of Kiwibot in the field of autonomous robotic delivery, with Aramex's experience in logistics and transportation. The result is quicker, cost-effective, innovative and sustainable delivery solutions. The initial testing in Dubai involves a multi-modal approach using both drones and autonomous robots.

Kiwibot's high-driving automation robots use a combination of sensors and artificial intelligence to navigate through surroundings and obstacles. They utilize an advanced GPS navigation system with a high-tech satellite solution, to generate virtual maps and establish multiple routes that make it possible to reach a pre-defined goal.
