Robot courier trial starts in Punggol

Autonomous robots deliver parcels and groceries to Punggol residents.

Punggol residents can get on-demand deliveries from autonomous robots, the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) announced.

The one-year trial was borne from a public-private partnership amongst logistics service provider CM Logistics, supermarket chain NTUC FairPrice, robot provider OTSAW, and relevant government agencies.

Robot deliveries can range from gorceries, food, flowers, and medicine. Customers can track the robots through a mobile app. A QR code would be provided to recipients to ensure that only the authorised person can accept the delivery.

The robots are accompanied by safety officers during the trial period.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
