About Real Life Robotics
Real Life Robotics develops PASSENGER, a hardware-agnostic operations platform for organisations running mixed fleets of robots, connected vehicles, sensors and other automation. It consolidates systems that would otherwise operate in separate interfaces, presenting their real-time locations and operating states on a shared map-based dashboard.
Municipal and enterprise teams can filter assets, inspect historical performance, track sensor readings and use heatmaps to analyse conditions such as traffic flow, temperature and wireless coverage. Charts and anomaly views turn the collected operational data into planning and resource-allocation inputs. PASSENGER is currently offered through a beta programme, making Real Life Robotics primarily an orchestration and analytics software provider rather than a manufacturer of the connected machines.

Timeline
Events
- 2025-07-29 - Deployment - Real Life Robotics launches Canada's first sidewalk delivery robot pilot
University of Waterloo described Real Life Robotics as approved for municipal sidewalk delivery operations in Canada. The Markham pilot supported live low-cost urban delivery rather than a controlled showroom demonstration. The milestone validates Real Life Robotics' sidewalk-delivery model while remaining part of the broader Markham deployment program.
Source - 2025-07-10 - Deployment - Real Life Robotics expands Downtown Markham robot delivery deployment
Downtown Markham announced a live robot-powered delivery rollout with Real Life Robotics and Skip. The deployment expanded Markham's public-facing delivery pilot into a branded smart-city setting with local restaurants and app-based ordering. The expansion gave Real Life Robotics a visible municipal sidewalk-delivery operating environment in Canada.

Real Life Robotics partnered with Skip on a three-month robot delivery deployment in Markham, Ontario. The pilot followed an earlier March trial and was described as Canada's first municipally approved sidewalk delivery pilot. Four supervised delivery robots operated within a two-kilometre radius of participating restaurants, making this a real street-level deployment rather than a closed demo.

Real Life Robotics announced an engineering partnership with InDro Robotics to support development of its cargo and last-mile delivery robot programs. The partnership linked Real Life Robotics' delivery-service ambitions to InDro's robotics engineering and hardware capabilities. This is a clean early partnership row that helps explain the company's later delivery deployments and product stack.
