Recent Trends and Innovations

Humanoid and MultiForm Delivery Robots

In 2025, the express delivery robotics field is seeing a transformative shift toward humanoid and multi-form robots. Amazon is spearheading this innovation by initiating real-world testing of two-legged, two-armed humanoid delivery units. These robots are being trained in a dedicated “humanoid park” in San Francisco—an indoor obstacle course the size of a coffee shop. Once deployment begins, the robots will “spring out” from Amazon’s Rivian electric vans (20,000 currently in operation, with an aim to reach 100,000 by 2030) to navigate steps, open doors, and complete doorstep deliveries. This approach not only attempts to slash last-mile costs—estimated up to US$7.1 billion in annual savings by 2032—but also signals a broader pivot toward “agentic AI,” enabling robots to understand natural-language commands and dynamically handle complex human environments.

Charting Milestones: Starship Technologies

Starship Technologies continues its strong growth trajectory, having completed over 8 million autonomous deliveries and logged more than 10 million miles across global campuses, urban centers, and corporate zones. These sidewalk-based L4 robots operate at walking speeds (~6 km/h), carry approximately 10 kg per run, and recharge wirelessly overnight. Their widespread deployment underscores a key trend: stable, low-speed delivery systems integrated deeply into public and semi-public spaces, especially in higher education and grocery sectors.

JD Logistics: High-Capacity Outdoor Fleets

JD Logistics is doubling down on autonomy with its fifth-generation outdoor delivery vehicles. These golf-cart-sized robots feature L4 autonomy, are capable of carrying up to 200 kg, and can travel up to 100 km on a single charge. With one operator able to remotely supervise up to 50 units, JD leverages cloud routing and mid-range LiDAR (Livox Mid-70) for intelligent navigation. Deployed during peak events—such as Singles’ Day—the fleet delivers roughly 2,000 packages per station per day. This scale deployment demonstrates a growing trend: using high-payload, urban-suitable robots to reduce pressure on traditional vehicle fleets and human drivers.

Broader Innovation Patterns

These three examples illustrate broader currents shaping the industry beyond mere CAGR figures. First, there is a clear move toward hybrid and humanoid forms that can adapt to multi-surface environments—urban sidewalks, van cargo bays, and indoor spaces. Second, companies are achieving scale: Starship’s millions of runs reflect operational stability; JD’s heavy-duty fleets show economic viability. Third, the integration of cloud-based orchestration, LiDAR, and AI navigation systems is accelerating, enabling remote oversight of large fleets. Finally, operating models are evolving. Amazon’s “agentic AI” and humanoid vans, alongside JD’s cloud-supervised network, signal a shift toward service models emphasizing flexibility, safety, and lifecycle cost reduction.

Future Outlook

As e-commerce, food delivery, and smart city initiatives expand, express delivery robots are becoming vital components of last-mile infrastructure. Trends indicate a continued evolution toward Robot-as-a-Service (RaaS) models and cross-industry applications, especially in healthcare, retail, and postal logistics.

By 2031, companies that leverage AI-driven fleet management, edge computing, and autonomous mobility solutions are expected to dominate the landscape, particularly in high-growth economies and smart logistics corridors.
