Ottonomy launches new Ottobot YETI autonomous delivery robot

-

The goal of Ottonomy.io is to innovate and open the way for effective and environmentally friendly delivery operations. Ottonomy successfully demonstrated autonomous deliveries using its worldwide pilots in 2022 over a variety of terrain and in a variety of adverse weather situations in order to offer long-term solutions for automating deliveries for several use cases at scale.

“During the validation processes we ran pilots with airports, retailers and postal services which gave us the deep insights we needed on the most effective use cases and scalability,” says Ritukar Vijay, CEO and co-founder of Ottonomy.IO. “With our strategic partnerships, we are in the prime position to fill the gap that companies like Amazon and Fedex were not able to. As demand and the use cases for autonomous unassisted delivery continue to grow, we are positioned to provide robots-as-a-service for restaurants, retailers and beyond.”

Launching its robot-as-a-service business model, Ottonomy was able to speed up the adoption of autonomous delivery solutions, proving that fully autonomous delivery is a solution that works well, can be scaled up, and will last.

The company is one of the first autonomous delivery robot solutions to operate both indoors and outdoors. This capability enabled the company to focus on a variety of application opportunities. The company is actively pursuing use cases that include curbside delivery, bringing grocery orders from deep inside the store to the curbside, where customers remove items and place them into their waiting vehicles.

In 2022, Ottonomy successfully deployed autonomous delivery robots at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky (CVG), Rome Fiumicino International Airport (FCO), and Pittsburgh (PIT). In addition, Ottonomy robots are used by Posten Norge in Oslo, Norway as well as Goggo in Madrid, Spain for automating first-mile delivery and last-mile deliveries. Ottonomy is also working with industry partners in Canada and Saudi Arabia with more launches scheduled for 2023 in the USA, Europe and Asia.

The Ottobot 2.0, introduced in Q3 2022, as the first fully customizable and modular robot featuring interchangeable cabins and specializations based on the needs of retail, restaurants, and curbside deliveries. Designed with accessibility and directional mobility in mind, the Ottobot 2.0 utilizes Ottonomy’s proprietary contextual mobility navigation to autonomously navigate through crowded and unpredictable environments.

The Ottobot Yeti was on display at the Ottonomy booth at CES 2023 and featured in our recent “Best robot solutions of CES 2023” article.

Noah Medical announced that its Galaxy System, an integrated system for navigated robotic bronchoscopy, was used for the first time in the United States at the University of Chicago Medicine by Dr. Kyle Hogarth.  This procedure marks the first commercial release of the Galaxy System in the US following its recent FDA clearance and first-in-human trials at Macquarie University Hospital in Sydney, Australia. The system was designed to give physicians more confidence in locating and navigating to lung nodules during biopsies as part of a more effective and efficient bronchoscopy procedure.   “The Galaxy System is the first robot for peripheral lung navigation that includes integrated imaging, which is the solution bronchoscopists have been asking for,” Hogarth said. “We are excited to be the first hospital in the United States to implement this next-generation robotic solution for our patients which we believe will improve and expedite the early diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer.

Chipotle testing avocado processing robot in test kitchen

Chipotle Mexican Grill announced Autocado, an avocado processing cobotic prototype that cuts, cores, and peels avocados before they are hand mashed to create the restaurant’s famous guacamole. The prototype, developed in collaboration with Vebu , is currently being tested at the Chipotle Cultivate Center in Irvine , California.  How Autocado works  A team member loads Autocado with a full case of ripe avocados and selects the size setting. Autocado can hold up to 25 lbs. of avocados at once. One at a time, avocados are vertically oriented, then transferred to the processing device. The avocados are sliced in half. Their cores and skin are automatically removed, and the waste is discarded.  The fruit is safely collected in a stainless-steel bowl at the bottom of the device.  A team member removes the bowl of avocado fruit and moves it to the counter where they add additional ingredients and hand mash the avocados to make Chipotle’s signature guacamole.  How the Autocado idea s

Intrinsic tested its latest platform and Flowstate with Comau , an Italian-based robot manufacturer and global systems integrator. Comau has been working with Intrinsic for several years now to validate Intrinsic’s platform technology and developer product, Flowstate, through real-world use cases.  Flowstate, announced earlier this year in May , is a robotic software development platform. It’s Intrinsic’s first developer product built on the Intrinsic platform. Comau was also introduced as the company’s first industry partner in May.  The Intrinsic Flowstate software  adds a layer of abstraction to traditional robotic software tools with the goal of reducing the development skillset required while making it easier than ever before to program a robot in simulation. “Partnering with Comau over the years has brought our team a tremendous amount of expertise, knowledge, and real-world use cases to focus our efforts on. We’re excited for what’s next and what it will mean to the solutio
