Chinese AI-driven robotics company RoboSense announced at last week’s CES in Las Vegas a partnership with California-based Coco Robotics, an innovator in delivery robots, to transform last-kilometre logistics.

By combining RoboSense’s sensor technology with Coco’s delivery offerings, the collaboration aims to enhance safety, efficiency and sustainability in urban networks.

Coco bridges the gap between local businesses and customers through navigation and real-time tracking, prioritising sustainability by reducing carbon emissions and delivery costs. Since its launch in 2020, the company has expanded operations to major US and European cities, forming partnerships with food delivery companies such as Uber Eats and DoorDash to meet the growing demands of modern logistics and support a greener future.

This partnership addresses difficulties in autonomous last-kilometre delivery by integrating RoboSense’s perception technology into Coco’s fleet to enhance navigation and obstacle detection. Together, the companies are accelerating the deployment of delivery robots to optimise efficiency and scale operations.

“We’re thrilled to collaborate with RoboSense to push the boundaries of what’s possible in last-mile delivery,” said Zach Rash, CEO of Coco Robotics. “This partnership strengthens our ability to provide safe, reliable and sustainable delivery at scale, helping us better serve businesses and communities.”

Mark Qiu, CEO of RoboSense, added: “The successful collaboration with Coco Robotics is one of the key milestones in RoboSense’s global strategy. By combining our visual sensor technology with Coco Robotics’ innovative robotics, we aim to redefine what’s possible in autonomous last-mile delivery. RoboSense will continue to innovate, providing superior incremental components to our global robotics customers. Partnering with Coco Robotics, we will create safer, smarter robotic delivery services and expand into global markets.”

RoboSense (www.robosense.ai), founded in 2014, is an AI-driven robotics technology company that supplies incremental components for the robotics market.

Coco Robotics (cocodelivery.com) is an urban robot delivery platform. Founded in 2020, Coco has completed over 500,000 zero-emission deliveries, serving customers in the USA and Europe.
