About RIVR
RIVR develops wheeled-legged robots for doorstep delivery and physical-AI development. Four articulated legs end in wheels, letting the platform travel efficiently along pavements and then step over kerbs, stairs and uneven terrain that stop conventional sidewalk robots.
Perception and control software coordinate driving and leg motion while the robot carries parcels through the final metres from a vehicle or local hub to a recipient. RIVR uses delivery trials to collect real-world mobility data and improve policies. The Swiss company builds the robot hardware and autonomy stack around commercial last-mile operations.
