Coco 2
The Coco 2 is a next-generation fully autonomous sidewalk and bike-lane delivery robot developed by Coco Robotics, designed to navigate complex urban environments at city scale. It represents a significant upgrade over the original Coco platform, incorporating advanced sensor suites and autonomy software to handle dense pedestrian traffic, curb cuts, and mixed-use streetscapes without remote human supervision. The Coco 2 powers last-mile food and retail deliveries for major platforms including Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Wolt, serving customers across a network of reportedly more than 3,000 merchant partners. Its focus on sidewalk and bike-lane operation positions it as a purpose-built urban delivery solution targeting restaurants, grocery stores, and convenience retailers in high-density city corridors.

Overview and Use Cases
The Coco 2 is Coco Robotics' second-generation autonomous delivery robot, purpose-built for last-mile logistics in dense urban settings. Unlike warehouse or campus robots that operate in controlled environments, the Coco 2 is engineered to share public sidewalks and bike lanes with pedestrians, cyclists, and other street users. Its primary use cases include:
- Food delivery from restaurants and ghost kitchens via platforms such as Uber Eats, DoorDash, and Wolt
- Grocery and convenience retail delivery from brick-and-mortar stores
- Multi-merchant routing across city blocks, enabling a single robot to serve multiple pickup and drop-off points within a delivery zone
The robot is intended to reduce reliance on human couriers for short-distance, high-frequency deliveries, lowering per-order costs for merchants and platforms operating at scale.
Key Technical Details
Coco Robotics has not publicly disclosed a comprehensive technical specification sheet for the Coco 2 as of available reporting. However, the platform is described as featuring:
- An advanced sensor suite likely including cameras, lidar, and ultrasonic sensors to enable full autonomy in unstructured outdoor environments
- Full autonomy without the need for remote human operators to take over navigation, a notable step beyond earlier teleoperated or semi-autonomous sidewalk robots
- A weatherized enclosure suitable for year-round urban operation across varying climates
- A cargo compartment sized for typical food delivery orders, though exact payload capacity has not been officially confirmed
Runtime, top speed, and charging specifications have not been widely reported in public sources and should not be assumed.
Comparison to Similar Robots
Within the broader autonomous delivery robot landscape, the Coco 2 competes with platforms such as:
- Starship Technologies' delivery robot, which also operates on sidewalks and has a large campus and suburban deployment footprint
- Serve Robotics' sidewalk robot, which similarly partners with food delivery platforms in urban markets
- Kiwibot, deployed on university campuses and select urban corridors
Coco 2 differentiates itself through its explicit focus on city-scale operations and integration with major third-party delivery marketplaces, rather than proprietary or campus-only networks. Coco Robotics' other publicly noted products span hospitality (Artly: The Barista Bot) and mobile robotics segments, though these serve fundamentally different operational contexts from the Coco 2's outdoor delivery mission.
Market Context and Target Buyers
The Coco 2 is positioned in the last-mile urban delivery segment, targeting:
- Food delivery platforms (Uber Eats, DoorDash, Wolt) seeking to reduce courier costs and improve delivery consistency
- Restaurant groups and ghost kitchen operators looking to offer delivery without per-order courier fees
- Grocery and convenience chains in high-density urban corridors
Pricing and deployment models have not been publicly disclosed; Coco Robotics reportedly operates on a robotics-as-a-service (RaaS) or platform partnership model rather than direct hardware sales, though this has not been officially confirmed in detail.
Deployments and Notable Customers
As of available public reporting, the Coco 2 and the broader Coco platform have been deployed across multiple U.S. cities. Key commercial relationships include:
- Uber Eats — integration enabling customers to select robot delivery at checkout
- DoorDash — merchant and platform partnership for sidewalk robot fulfillment
- Wolt — deployment in select markets where Wolt operates
- A merchant network reportedly exceeding 3,000 partner locations, spanning restaurants, cafes, and retail outlets
Specific city-by-city deployment counts and international rollout timelines have not been confirmed in public disclosures.
Future Outlook
The sidewalk delivery robot market is expected to grow as cities clarify regulations around autonomous devices on public rights-of-way. Coco Robotics' strategy of deep integration with established delivery platforms positions the Coco 2 to scale alongside existing consumer ordering behavior rather than requiring new consumer adoption. Key factors that will shape the Coco 2's trajectory include regulatory developments in target cities, competitive pressure from well-funded rivals, and the pace at which delivery platforms expand robot-eligible order zones. Continued investment in full autonomy — reducing or eliminating the need for human oversight — is likely to be a central technical priority for future iterations.
