In a bid to address the challenge of high last-mile delivery costs, Vayu Robotics has launched the world’s first on-road delivery robot that combines the power of modern AI foundation models with lidar-less, low-cost passive sensors.

According to the company, traditional mobile robotics rely on costly lidar sensors and software modules built to do one task at a time, leading to expensive hardware and fragile software unable to handle new scenarios.

Vayu’s robot does the opposite, combining a transformer-based mobility foundation model with a powerful passive sensor that eliminates the need for lidar, enabling the robot to operate autonomously without pre-mapping the roads it intends to drive on.
