Swiss Post extending delivery robot tests

Swiss Post has announced that it plans to extend its tests using Starship Technology delivery robots. As previously reported, Swiss Post has been using the robots in the Zurich city centre  since September. Working in collaboration with Jelmoli – The House of Brands, Swiss Post has made almost 170 deliveries using three Starship robots.

In a statement issued on Friday (13 October), Swiss Post said it now intends to test the robots for “further logistics tasks at additional locations over the coming months”.

The next test will take place in Dübendorf and is expected to last one year.

Swiss Post said that “potential applications” could include “food deliveries, sending medical products and same-day delivery of special items”.
