Cooper Service plans to launch delivery by robotic dogs in St. Petersburg, said the company's head, Pavel Glukhov. The robots will move at speeds of up to 7 km/h, carry up to 10 kg, climb the stairs independently and bring orders to the apartment door. The company believes that this will be useful for those who have difficulty getting down to the entrance.
Deputy Head of the Center for Technical Training Centers MIET Stanislav Shapelev:.
"The designs are expensive, they will be cheaper during serial production, but without imported components it is difficult to assemble a platform. This is a pilot project. The end point must be equipped so that the robot can enter the building and go up to the floor. Such systems work well when buildings are designed in the first place for robots - the elevator and doors are made so that the robot can communicate with them, that the robot belongs to another company, those belong to another building. difficulties. ".
Robo-dogs have an advantage over Yandex's wheeled messengers - the robot will be able to move along stairs where a person walks, while a wheeler on wheels needs ramps and ramps.
The cost of robotic dogs ranges from 320 thousand to almost 2 million rubles. They were tested in Moscow in September, but delivery is not yet available to customers. More than 300 Yandex wheeled robots are already operating in St. Petersburg, and robotic dogs are planned to be launched by 2029.
