Back in 2019, when we published a similar report, autonomous delivery robots were a futuristic curiosity – cute, slow-moving boxes trundling along sidewalks, mostly on college campuses or in pilot projects.
Fast-forward to 2025, and the ADR industry has grown up. While some early movers have vanished, others have scaled, raised millions in funding, and secured major partnerships.
From sidewalk robots to street-legal pods and long-range drones, the sector now spans a wide range of technologies and business models. [Read more…] about Top 20 autonomous delivery robot companies in 2025
LG Electronics is providing the services of its delivery robot to an upmarket hotel in South Korea, according to The Korea Herald.
The small, mobile robot is being employed at the Mayfield Hotel, in the capital city Seoul, and will deliver food from an indoor kitchen to diners seated outside on the terrace. It will also be used to carry dishes back to the kitchen.
There are two robots currently in operation at the Mayfield, and they look very similar to the ones unveiled by TeleRetail a couple of years ago., although we cannot confirm at this stage whether it is the same. [Read more…] about LG supplies delivery robot to posh hotel

Despite some occasional antipathy towards them, autonomous delivery robots are gaining ground in urban landscapes.
While some local authorities are unsure about allowing machines to roam free on city streets, most people probably accept that it’s only a matter of time before regulations accommodate the new technology.
Universities, meanwhile, as well as other organizations such as hotels, airports and large companies with extensive grounds of their own, have the opportunity to allow relatively large numbers of these autonomous mobile robots to deliver such things as snacks and maybe books, documents, and other items to students, guests and staff.

Time Magazine has chosen several automation technologies in its selection of what it considers the top 25 inventions of 2017.
Although it doesn’t seem to have listed them in any numerical order, it did place the Jibo home robot at the top.
Jibo is not mobile in the way many home robots are, but its top part moves as it speaks.
Jibo is designed as an interactive companion and helper to families, according to its creator Cynthia Breazeal (main picture), who was interviewed by Spectrum, the IEEE website.
