About Coco Robotics
Coco’s current vehicle, Coco 2, uses solid-state lidar, cameras, satellite positioning and learned driving models to navigate pavements and selected street environments while retaining remote human supervision for exceptions. The robot combines a lockable cargo compartment, swappable battery and compact turning footprint with a published top speed of 21 km/h and approximately 32 km of range, enabling repeated short-distance routes from neighbourhood merchants.
Orders enter the fleet through integrations with delivery and restaurant platforms including Uber Eats, DoorDash, Wolt and Olo. Staff prepare the order, load and lock the robot, while Coco’s software handles dispatch, routing, arrival notifications and customer unlocking before returning the vehicle for another job. A web-based terminal gives operators estimated arrival times, obstruction alerts and map updates. The company reports more than 500,000 deliveries across a fleet of roughly 1,000 robots.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-05 - Partnership - Coco Robotics and Deliveroo agree exclusive UK robot-delivery rollout
Milton Keynes, Leeds, Stockton-on-Tees and Nottingham are planned to follow in the coming weeks and months. The rollout includes investment in depots, charging facilities and local operations, maintenance and logistics jobs. Initial Canary Wharf merchants include Patty&Bun, Signorelli and Beam, with further restaurants planned as the service area expands.
Source - 2026-07-15 - Deployment - Coco Robotics brings 25 sidewalk robots to Washington’s Logan Circle
The launch uses about 25 sidewalk delivery robots in the initial service area. Coco supports restaurant orders directly and through delivery partners including DoorDash and Uber Eats. Dupont Circle and additional districts are expansion targets rather than current coverage.
Source - 2026-07-02 - Deployment - Foxglove cuts Coco’s robot-incident resolution from hours to seconds
Foxglove events let Coco batch-review incidents across trips, including tagged robot–human interactions and automatically detected issues such as robot flips. Engineers can inspect failure modes across a hundred trips in minutes, compare event tags with pilot reports and avoid manually searching petabytes of unstructured data. Coco reduced incident resolution from hours to seconds while using organized data to assess operational impact and improve human-pilot oversight.
Source - 2026-04-30 - Org Change - Coco Robotics appoints Ralf Wenzel to board
The appointment took effect immediately on April 30, 2026. Wenzel joined as Coco expanded its autonomous urban delivery platform and international operations. The role adds board-level operating and technology experience.

Notes
Profile notes
- Coco uses teleoperator interventions as both operational support and training data
reviewed 2026-07-18 - Coco’s sidewalk robots are remotely monitored during live operation, with human teleoperators able to intervene or guide them through ambiguous situations. The company feeds those interventions back into model development so later robots can handle similar cases autonomously.
