About
About Avride
Avride develops one autonomy stack across road vehicles and compact delivery robots. Cameras, LiDAR, radar and onboard compute support perception, localisation and planning, while in-house simulation and fleet systems manage testing and field operation. The delivery robot uses a six-wheel chassis and enclosed cargo compartment for short urban and campus routes.
The company operates delivery fleets through partners including Uber Eats and is preparing robotaxi service with Hyundai IONIQ 5 vehicles. Sharing the autonomy and operational infrastructure across both embodiments lets Avride transfer mapping, prediction and remote-assistance tools between them. Its robots have completed more than 600,000 commercial deliveries, providing a large field dataset for later deployments.
