TeleRetail Delivery Robot for Urban and Suburban environments

TeleRetail develops an automated delivery service with courier robots for urban and sub-urban logistics. Self-driving transporters are ordered by users on demand to deliver products, spare parts, etc. locally on the same day. Their ability to autonomously deliver goods within their assigned territory enables them to fulfil the rapidly growing need for cost effective, energy preserving, space efficient urban and sub-urban logistics. The objective of the feasibility study is to prepare the TeleRetail automated urban courier service and technology for the specific needs of the targeted customers, thereby creating a foundation for a demo service and future roll-out, which creates significant value for millions of users, worldwide. The logistics automation application relies on satellites for Communication, Navigation and Earth Observation.
