R3
The R3 is a third-generation autonomous delivery vehicle developed by Nuro, designed exclusively for cargo transport without driver or passenger compartments. The vehicle is undergoing commercial pilots with major retailers and food delivery partners including Kroger, Domino's, and 7-Eleven.
Overview and Use Cases
The R3 is an autonomous road-going delivery vehicle developed by Nuro for last-mile logistics. Unlike conventional vehicles, the R3 contains no driver compartment or passenger seating; the entire vehicle structure is dedicated to cargo bays. The vehicle is designed to operate on public roads autonomously.
The R3 is deployed in commercial pilot programs with major U.S. retailers and food service operators, including Kroger supermarkets, Domino's Pizza, and 7-Eleven convenience stores.
Key Capabilities
- Fully autonomous operation without onboard driver
- Dedicated cargo-only design with no passenger accommodation
- Road-legal autonomous delivery capability
- Multiple cargo bay configuration for segmented loads
- Support for grocery delivery, restaurant orders, and parcel logistics
Applications
The R3 serves multiple delivery use cases in its pilot deployments:
- Grocery delivery through Kroger partnership
- Restaurant delivery through Domino's partnership
- Convenience store delivery through 7-Eleven partnership
- General parcel and package delivery
Manufacturer
The R3 is manufactured by Nuro, a robotics company headquartered in the United States.

RobotRelay Delivery Robot
The Relay Delivery Robot is an autonomous indoor delivery robot developed by Relay Robotics (formerly known as Savioke), designed primarily for hospitality and healthcare environments. It navigates hotel corridors and hospital hallways independently, rides elevators without human assistance, and delivers guest amenities, medications, linens, and other supplies directly to rooms or designated drop-off points. Relay is one of the most widely deployed service robots in its category, reportedly completing over one million lifetime deliveries with a publicly cited success rate of approximately 99.8%. With a cargo capacity of around 10 gallons, the robot is compact enough to operate in busy public spaces while carrying a meaningful payload of everyday supplies.

RobotSpot
Spot is a four-legged autonomous robot developed by Boston Dynamics, a robotics company headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts. Designed for inspection, security, and data collection in complex or hazardous environments, Spot can navigate stairs, rough terrain, and confined spaces that are inaccessible to wheeled robots. It is commercially available and has been deployed across industries including utilities, oil and gas, construction, and public safety. Spot supports a modular payload system that accommodates thermal cameras, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, lidar units, methane sensors, and other mission-specific hardware. Boston Dynamics also offers the Orbit fleet-management software platform, enabling operators to schedule autonomous inspection routes, aggregate sensor data, and manage multiple Spot units from a central interface. The robot is widely regarded as one of the most capable and commercially mature legged robots on the market.

RobotRealSense Depth Camera D455
The RealSense Depth Camera D455 is a stereoscopic active-infrared depth camera belonging to Intel's D400 series, designed to capture high-fidelity depth data for robotics, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), drones, and computer-vision applications. It features a 95 mm stereo baseline — the widest in the D400 lineup at the time of its introduction — which reportedly enables depth error of under 2% at ranges up to approximately 4 metres. Originally developed under the Intel RealSense brand, the D455 and related products were later spun off as part of an independent RealSense business unit following Intel's restructuring of the division around 2021–2022. The camera is widely adopted in research, industrial automation, and humanoid-robot development owing to its compact USB-powered form factor, open SDK support, and relatively accessible price point.
