- PeykBot will arrive in Milton Keynes this summer, following a successful trial in Qatar.
- Combines innovative technology and AI, with a web-enabled platform for easy use.
- The first and only robot, specifically designed for peer-to-peer deliveries.
Peyk has announced the UK launch of their first delivery product: PeykBot. The robot is designed to provide autonomy in last-mile deliveries, and is a major milestone for Peyk in their mission to bring innovation to the delivery sector.
Salman Moghimi, Founder and CEO of Peyk, says, “peer-to-peer couriers are widely used when sending things to friends and family. Peyk is now bringing a similar service to the market, revolutionising it with platform simplicity and smart, city-sustainable autonomous robots.”
With an in-house team of engineers and developers, Peyk have given themselves the competitive edge in the market. Using a combination of artificial intelligence and high-tech sensors, PeykBot is able to detect authorised driving routes, including side roads and pavements. The use of waypoint driving means PeykBot is ready for use in any location, not just pre-mapped areas, and is equipped with step climbing ability and obstacle detection.
The all-terrain chassis and latest technology of honeycomb wheels provides smooth and quiet deliveries in any weather. Each PeykBot is also equipped with industry graded night lighting, as well as indicators, ensuring safe and secure deliveries 24/7.
Other innovative features include the automatic opening/closing door, and insulated, interchangeable compartment sizes.
PeykBot also offers the opportunity for businesses to build brand awareness through marketing partnerships. Each unit is fully customisable, so can feature any business’s colour and branding.
As well as the robots, Peyk have developed a web-enabled platform that allows any PeykBot operator to identify and track the status of their robot during a delivery. In case of an emergency, the operator also has the ability to remotely control each unit.
PeykBot was initially trialled in Msheireb, Qatar, who are now using the robots successfully. Further trials are currently underway in Dubai and Kuwait, with positive responses thus far.
With the expanding Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) within Greater London, Peyk is committed to helping reduce carbon emissions in the capital. Currently, 80% of Peyk’s delivery force are on bicycles, and the new PeykBot was designed to deliver parcels without producing a single Co2 emission.
Peyk was founded by Salman Moghimi in 2018, following his own difficult experience trying to send a package across London. Today, Peyk has almost 7,000 deliverers ready to collect packages within 20 minutes of an order being placed – the quickest pick-up time across companies in London.
After fundraising £1.2m in 2021, the company were able to focus their efforts on bringing new technology to the logistics market.
Salman says, “it is truly remarkable to see that an idea that I had post-covid has quickly turned into a reality. With the help of my amazing team and the commitment of all of us, we have quickly made the robot project operational.”
