Your parcels will soon be delivered by a robot: Aramex and DIEZ partner up

Guess what? Your next parcels might be delivered by a robot! Aramex and the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) are teaming up to test out a cool new autonomous delivery system at Dubai Silicon Oasis.

They’re kicking off a three-month pilot phase to try out Aramex’s latest multi-cabin delivery robot. Unlike earlier models, this high-tech bot can handle multiple deliveries in one trip, making it very efficient. Plus, it is set to slash carbon emissions by more than 500 kilograms during the trial period alone—talk about going green!

During this pilot phase, the robot will zoom around the Cedre Villas community, zipping up to deliver over 1,000 packages directly to customers! And get this—DIEZ has big plans. If all goes well, they want to expand this robotic delivery squad to other economic zones like Dubai Airport Freezone and Dubai CommerCity.

Here’s how it works: Residents expecting packages will get a special pin code to unlock their delivery, keeping everything safe and sound. Plus, there’s a mobile outlet parked at Cedre Shopping Centre to keep the robots stocked up and running smoothly.

The delivery bots are equipped with top-notch tech: think depth cameras, fancy human-bot interfaces, and full 360-degree video coverage. They’re designed to handle any environment—inside, outside, you name it. And with eight compartments for different package sizes and swappable batteries, they’re totally ready to tackle the challenges of modern city life.

Earlier this year, Aramex, had successfully tested drone and roadside bot deliveries in Dubai. Their goal is to exploring new technologies to make deliveries faster, greener, and more affordable.

So, next time you see a sleek robot rolling down your street, don’t be surprised—it’s just your latest delivery making its way to your doorstep, hassle-free!
