Headline: RAW VIDEO: RIVR Robot Set To Use AI To Revolutionise Deliveries
Caption: Meet RIVR, the versatile delivery robot set to hit pavements for testing in 2025. Formerly known as Swiss-Mile, the company has rebranded as RIVR as it commences field testing of its advanced Physical AI technology set to commence in 2025 in collaboration with major global logistics providers. Specialising in the development of wheeled-legged robots powered by artificial intelligence, RIVR is focused on improving the efficiency and sustainability of last-mile logistics. By integrating artificial neural networks into adaptable robotic platforms, the company aims to address the increasing demand for smarter, greener delivery solutions in urban environments. Marko Bjelonic, CEO of RIVR, said: “We believe our Physical AI technology, integrated into a comprehensive delivery solution, has the potential to set new benchmarks for efficiency and sustainability in the logistics sector. Partnering with major logistics carriers to deploy our robots for last-mile delivery is a significant milestone in our mission to transform the industry.” The announcement comes after RIVR secured $22 million in seed funding in August 2024, with investment from Jeff Bezos via Bezos Expeditions and HSG, underscoring industry confidence in the company’s vision. With field testing scheduled to begin this year, RIVR is set to demonstrate how its innovations could reshape one of the most complex and vital aspects of e-commerce logistics. The company is currently finalising another funding round to accelerate the development and deployment of its autonomous delivery robots. The transition to RIVR marks the company’s evolution from a high-tech university spin-off to a globally focused, customer-centric technology leader. The new name is intended to convey ideas of connectivity, fluidity, adaptability, and positive societal impact. It can also be interpreted as an abbreviation for Reinventing Robotics, aligning with RIVR’s mission to lead innovation in intelligent robotics.
