We deploy robotic platforms for providing safe and scalable last mile goods delivery in urban areas
We pick up goods from places like restaurants, pharmacies, and grocery stores and bring them directly to your house, enabling faster, cheaper, and safer delivery to meet customers’ growing expectations.
Operating Zones
We can operate in both car and bike lanes
To maximize flexibility and safety our robots are light-weight and low-power enough to qualify under e-bike regulations. However, they are still fast and nimble enough to operate in traditional car lanes and move through the world without impeding traffic.
All Weather
Our initial robot is designed to operate in all weather conditions. We employ an autonomy stack that is designed for the harshest of winters and the hottest of summers.
Size and Weight
The size and weight of the vehicle makes a big difference in the way it operates, where it can go, how long it takes to stop, and how safe it is in an accident. Our robots balance size and weight to make the most capable street worthy vehicle possible without the risks and challenges of full-sized passenger car autonomous vehicles.
Stopping Distance
Critical to the our robots’ cost and safety is an incredibly short stopping distance. This means we can use lower cost sensors like cameras to see and we can stop on a dime to prevent accidents. When combined with the robot’s light weight, Refraction has one of the safest most capable vehicles out there.
