Coco Robotics

Coco Robotics designs and operates lightweight, battery-powered sidewalk delivery robots engineered for urban environments. Each robot is equipped with a ruggedized chassis, active suspension, and advanced sensor arrays—including cameras and ultrasonic sensors—to safely navigate sidewalks, curbs, and crosswalks. The system runs on Coco’s proprietary autonomy stack, which combines onboard navigation with real-time teleoperations software: while the robots operate autonomously for most routes, they can be seamlessly taken over by remote human pilots when facing complex scenarios like heavy foot traffic or construction zones. Coco’s software also integrates directly with platforms like DoorDash and Uber Eats, enabling intelligent order dispatching, dynamic routing, and fleet coordination—all while eliminating the emissions, costs, and delays of car-based delivery.

The company offers its robots through a hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) model with a usage‑based pricing structure. Merchants are charged per delivery (distance-tiered), with no upfront hardware fees mentioned. For partners like Uber Eats, Coco earns through service agreements, while restaurants piggyback on these integrations for robot delivery. Coco also provides a free trial week to demonstrate ROI and operational impact. The model emphasizes lower delivery cost (up to 50% savings) and improved delivery time (30% faster, 97% on-time). By retaining ownership of the fleet and managing all robot maintenance, operations, and upgrades centrally, Coco allows merchants to adopt robotic delivery without any technical lift or capital expense.

“Coco is proving that autonomous delivery can operate at real scale,” says Zach Rash, co-founder and CEO of Coco Robotics. “With hundreds of thousands of deliveries completed, we’ve built the largest and most advanced robotic delivery fleet in the world. That scale gives us the data, technology, and operational expertise to keep improving autonomy and service quality for our partners. We’ve also designed our model around how service environments actually operate, giving our customers the confidence of fleet ownership, paired with a platform and pricing structure that evolves with their needs.”
