Robomart推出新型送貨機械人,以3美元固定運費挑戰DoorDash及Uber Eats

洛杉磯初創公司Robomart專注研發自動駕駛送貨機械人,最近推出其最新款機械人Robomart RM5,目標是利用這款機械人實現按需送貨的盈利模式。

這款獲得專利的RM5屬於第四級自動駕駛車輛,最多可承載500磅貨物,並設有10個獨立儲物櫃,用以存放不同顧客的訂單。此設計支持批量訂單配送,機械人能同時處理多個送貨任務,大大提升效率。

Robomart計劃採用類似UberEats或DoorDash的按需送貨平台模式,由零售商與Robomart合作,在其應用程式內開設網上店舖,由消費者下單購物。與其他平台不同的是,Robomart為顧客提供固定3美元的送貨費用,避免了其他平台多重收費的繁複和昂貴,期望以此吸引更多用戶。

Robomart聯合創辦人兼CEO Ali Ahmed向TechCrunch表示:「我們希望建立一個自動駕駛的市場平台,這在現時同類市場中相當獨特,是利用自動駕駛機械人進行按需送貨的創新模式。」

Robomart將於今年稍後在首個市場德州奧斯汀開始招募零售商,並推出送貨服務。

回顧Robomart的發展,2017年成立後,2020年開始試行「輪上商店」概念——利用移動自動商店直接將藥房用品、雪糕等商品送到顧客手中。此次轉型進軍按需送貨,實屬自然演變。

Ahmed曾於2015年在英國創立Dispatch Messenger按需送貨平台,但由於依賴人工送貨司機令成本過高,無法達至盈利,這促使他轉向自動化技術以削減開支。如今,他相信Robomart已破解成本難題。

Ahmed指出:「我們的機械人能將送貨成本降低多達70%。如果以每小時18美元支付司機工資,光是司機成本就需9至10美元每小時。」

Robomart迄今籌集資金不足500萬美元,Ahmed對此感到自豪,因為這資金已讓團隊研發出五代機械人,並成功部署首個路上自動市場平台。

儘管按需送貨市場競爭激烈,UberEats、GrubHub等大玩家林立,Ahmed仍堅信Robomart憑藉全新產品和3美元固定費用的吸引力,有望在市場中脫穎而出。

他強調:「我們的3美元固定費用,沒有額外收費,讓零售商和顧客都覺得非常吸引。其他平台的費用和小費加起來其實相當昂貴,顧客甚至未必察覺。」

評論與啟示

Robomart這次推出的RM5自動送貨機械人,不僅是技術上的進步,更重要的是其商業模式的創新嘗試。他們將自動駕駛技術與零售服務結合,打造一個「自動駕駛的市場平台」,這種模式有望改寫現有按需送貨行業的遊戲規則。

以固定低廉的3美元送貨費用作為賣點,Robomart正試圖突破現有平台多重收費、費用不透明的痛點,這對消費者和零售商都有極大吸引力。這種簡單明確的收費方式,有助於提升用戶體驗和忠誠度,甚至可能推動整個行業重新檢視其收費結構。

不過,Robomart面對的挑戰亦不容忽視。首先,機械人運作的可靠性和安全性需經過嚴格考驗,尤其是在繁忙的城市環境中。其次,如何快速擴展機械人數量並建立穩定的零售商合作網絡,將是實現商業成功的關鍵。最後,與UberEats、DoorDash等巨頭競爭,需要Robomart持續在成本控制和服務質素上保持領先。

總括而言,Robomart的策略顯示出未來智慧城市和自動化物流的發展趨勢:運用先進技術降低人力成本,提供更透明、經濟的消費體驗。若能成功落地,將為香港等地的物流和零售業帶來深遠影響,甚至推動本地按需送貨服務的革新。作為香港媒體,我們應密切關注此類創新如何影響本地市場,並探討本地政策如何配合自動送貨技術的應用與監管。

Prompt (Enhanced, Artistic & Detailed):

A young Asian female inspired by "Imada Mio's" delicate doll-like aesthetic (精緻洋娃娃臉), featuring extraordinarily large, round, and soulful eyes with subtle brown irises, framed by long fluttering lashes. Her face is petite and exquisitely shaped with a defined V-line jaw, soft rosy cheeks flushed with youthful vitality, and plush, natural lips softly parted in a gentle, innocent yet slightly flirtatious expression. Her complexion is luminous and porcelain-smooth.

Her hair is long, dark chocolate brown, and styled in an artfully messy “just woke up” look (剛睡醒的凌亂感), with tousled waves and a touch of natural volume that frames her face and cascades down her shoulders, effortlessly blending wildness and charm.

She wears an oversized, semi-sheer white button-down shirt in a borrowed-from-the-boyfriend style (男友風白襯衫); the shirt slips loosely off her slim shoulders, unbuttoned at the top to reveal graceful collarbones and a hint of décolleté. The hem of the shirt falls mid-thigh, creating a tasteful "bottomless" look (下衣失蹤風格), her bare legs just visible beneath the diaphanous fabric, enhancing a pure yet subtly sexy visual impact.

The image is rendered with a high-key, natural daylight aesthetic reminiscent of Japanese gravure photobooks (寫真集風格): bright, airy lighting softly illuminates her features, casting gentle highlights and diffuse shadows for a dreamy, ethereal effect. Skin is rendered creamy and velvety with impeccable smoothness. The color palette echoes Fujifilm PRO 400H—soft, milky tones with delicate pastels, gentle greens, natural skin, and a nostalgic film grain that adds warmth and authenticity, evoking an elegant, fresh, and intimate atmosphere.

She is posed naturally, perhaps seated on light bed linens or by a sunlit window, exuding a blend of youthful innocence, pure allure, and quiet confidence. Hyper-detailed, cinematic composition, fine-tuned for photorealism yet with a subtle artistic charm. add lotso and hamm Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a ultra-sharp studio portrait of a confident woman kneeling on the floor with her body slightly leaning back, her right hand gently touching her hair, and her left arm resting on her bent knee. She is dressed in a sleek, strapless black bodysuit that accentuates her figure, paired with elegant black patterned lace pantyhose that add texture and sophistication. She wears a pair of classic black high heels, elevating her posture and emphasizing her elongated legs. The background is a seamless, pure white studio backdrop, providing a clean and minimalist aesthetic that directs full focus to her form and attire. *** The lighting setup is soft, evenly distributed, with a diffused key light positioned to the left, casting gentle shadows that sculpt her contours and highlight the intricate lace pattern of her tights. The overall color palette is monochromatic, emphasizing blacks and whites to create a timeless, sophisticated mood. The composition is carefully balanced, capturing her from the waist up in a slightly angled pose that accentuates her curves and confidence. Use a professional camera with a 85mm or 50mm lens at wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 for a shallow depth of field, ensuring crisp detail on her outfit and pose while softly blurring the background. Post-process minimally to enhance clarity, contrast, and natural skin tones, maintaining a polished, elegant, and modern aesthetic suitable for fashion or editorial photography.
