RobometA startup that creates a driving delivery robot itself, is exposing its modern robot with a mutual purpose of using delivery to make the delivery profitable.
A Los Angeles -based company announced its patented Robomart RM5 on Monday. The surface can take up to 500 pounds and consists of 10 individual lockers who hold orders from consumers. This structure is designed to allow batch order so that the robot can work on multiple delivery at the same time.
Robomart plans to use these new robots to operate the Demand Delivery Business Model, such as established food delivery platforms, Robomart’s co -founder and CEO told Tech Crunch. This model includes a partnership with Robomart with Robomart to open its store front on the robomer app – which is similar to apps like Ebrotes or Dordssh.
What Is The cost structure for users is different. Ahmed said that every time a user orders from Robomart, they pay a flat $ 3 delivery fee, which the company hopes will be far more attractive than a number of fees received by other delivery apps.
Ahmed said, “We see it as the construction of our sovereign market.” This is something that is very unique in this place, which is an independent market for demanding demand using a driving robot itself. “
Robomart plans to ride retailers in the first few months before launching the delivery service later this year, in the first market in Austin, Texas.
This announcement indicates extension from the roots of the robbery. The company was founded in 2017 and started installing an independent “store on wheels” in 2020, which brought a mobile autonomous store with pharmacy items and ice cream, which requested it.

Ahmed said that when the company started with its “store on wheels” model, the move was a natural development in supply of on -demand. He added that the company knows that it wants to deal with the supply supply from the beginning.
Prior to Robomart, Ahmed founded the Demand Delivery Platform, Dispatch Messenger in the UK in 2015. Ahmed had said that his former company still could not make economics profitable by relying on humanitarian drivers. It focused its attention on automation to reduce costs. Now, Ahmed is confident that he has broken the code.
Ahmed said, “The cost of supplying our robot is up to 70 %.” “This is an important difference. If you are paying the driver $ 18 an hour, your cost, only for this driver, each delivery is 9 to $ 10.”
Robomart has gone ahead with little funding at this point, about which Ahmed said he was really proud. The company has deposited less than 5 million millions in financing the Histal Fund, SOSV, and other companies, including Vasabi Ventures.
“We have collected about $ 4 million in financing, and it has helped us to build five generations of robots and have now deployed the first independent market for this road,” Ahmed said. “I am proud of my team, and this is proof of how much we have been able to achieve.”
Although the on -demand delivery sector is a place of sheep, which has many major heritage players, including Avretts and Gerbhab, Ahmed believes that Robomet is bringing new products to the market at a price that he thinks that consumers will be attracted to them.
Ahmed said, “There is no other pay for them to make an incredible proposal of $ 3, only (price) markup itself can be expensive.” “They don’t even realize that they are paying this markup and other fees and indicators. This makes it very attractive for retailers and consumers.”
