Delivery Robots Compared
27 models from 12 manufacturers compared
Delivery robots autonomously transport packages, meals, medications, and other goods within buildings or on outdoor premises. They are used in hospitals, hotels, office buildings, and increasingly in last-mile parcel delivery. The robots are equipped with compartments or loading surfaces and can be controlled via apps or integrated systems. In hospitals, they transport lab samples, medications, and meals between wards. In hotels, they deliver room service orders and amenities directly to guest room doors. Key selection criteria include payload, number of compartments, battery life, and elevator integration capability for multi-story buildings. For outdoor use, IP protection rating and obstacle clearance are relevant factors. Modern delivery robots can be integrated into existing IT infrastructures and offer APIs for connecting to ordering and management systems.

Frequently asked questions about Delivery Robots
How much does a delivery robot cost?
Indoor delivery robots cost between EUR 10,000 and EUR 50,000, depending on payload and functionality. Outdoor delivery robots for last-mile delivery can cost EUR 20,000 to EUR 100,000. Many providers offer Robot-as-a-Service models where you pay monthly.
Can delivery robots use elevators?
Yes, many modern delivery robots can automatically operate elevators via IoT interfaces. Integration is done through standardized building automation protocols. This enables cross-floor transport without human intervention.
How safe are delivery robots outdoors?
Outdoor delivery robots are equipped with extensive sensors (LiDAR, cameras, GPS) and detect pedestrians, vehicles, and obstacles. They are weatherproof (IP54 or higher) and can travel on sidewalks at up to 6 km/h. The cargo compartments are locked and can only be opened by the recipient via app or code.
What payload can delivery robots carry?
Indoor delivery robots typically carry 10 to 40 kg payload. Outdoor models can transport 20 to 80 kg. Special models for hospital use are also optimized for transporting sensitive goods such as lab samples.
How long does a delivery robot take for a delivery?
Indoors, delivery robots move at 0.5 to 1.5 m/s and reach most destinations within 3 to 10 minutes. Outdoors, they travel at 3 to 6 km/h and typically cover a radius of 2 to 5 km.
