More than 400 delivery rovers now operate across 51 districts of Moscow, after expanding into 31 additional districts, according to Maxim Liksutov, the city’s deputy mayor for transport. The robots deliver more than 1,500 orders per day, with an average delivery time of 15 minutes.
The newly covered areas received next-generation rovers, including Yandex’s first mass-produced models. Their updated hardware includes a redesigned suspension for better terrain handling and a more powerful computing unit. A dedicated neural network plans routes and predicts nearby conditions more accurately, helping the rovers manage urban situations.
