Three autonomous on-demand delivery robots will begin services from all restaurants and shops to residents within the plaza area of The Sustainable City. Starting this year, the pilot project will be launched in collaboration with Dubai Future Labs and Lyve Global.
The Sustainable City is a fully pedestrianised and car-free community.
Developed locally by a team of roboticists and engineers from Dubai Future Labs, these delivery robots are equipped with several advanced features, including a fleet management system equipped with real-time tracking, a back-end order fulfilment and delivery operations system devised by Lyve Global and a secured delivery compartment, accessible only by the customer, ensuring secure deliveries.

These autonomous delivery robots offer delivery in under 30 minutes within the community. They will navigate sidewalks safely and independently, locating charging stations when needed and eliminating the need for human intervention.
This initiative aligns with Dubai's mission to make 25 per cent of trips autonomous by 2030.
Some other communities in Dubai such as The Silicon Oasis have also run trials of robots in their communities.
“These robots have been designed to ensure delivery of products within a timeframe of just under 30 minutes, while being fully equipped to navigate their surroundings safely and efficiently, with the capability to identify charging stations, eliminating the requirement for human intervention,” said Khalifa Al Qama, director of Dubai Future Labs at Dubai Future Foundation.
Fadi Alfaris, general manager of NZE Solutions at SEE Holding, the developer of The Sustainable City, said they test the applicability of various ideas and integrated solutions. “It is an ideal location for piloting autonomous delivery robots and their future deployment. Designed with car-free residential clusters, it provides a safe and conducive environment for testing and operating such advanced technologies. This setting ensures the safety of residents and offers a controlled environment to optimize the performance and efficiency of delivery robots.”
Hassan Hallas, chief executive officer at Lyve Global, said deploying cutting-edge delivery robots mark a significant step to revolutionise logistics.
