A robot can navigate city streets, enter a building, take the elevator and deliver online orders straight to customers. This is not science fiction, but a reality made possible by a company in SIP.

“Our core goal is to provide excellent solutions for the ‘last 10-meter delivery’,” said Lu Yingxiang, founder of Infermove, a company engaged in building lightweight delivery robots with high scalability.

The company has pioneeringly created the Courier Shadow System—a large-scale data engine powered by real delivery riders—to support intelligent decision making by its robots, and upgraded it last year to capture movements of real delivery riders so as to improve its robots’ functions such as opening a door and loading and unloading products.

Carri FLEX, a robot developed by the company, features upper limb capabilities, dynamic task scheduling, and seamless integration with existing systems.

The company entered into partnership with Dada Nexus in 2022 to use its Carri series to help the latter deliver orders to the doorsteps of customers, and has cooperated with Sam’s Club in home delivery service. Moreover, it has established partnerships with other two domestic online food ordering platforms.
