"What started as frustration turned into a mission to fix one of the most overlooked problems in the supply chain, the final stretch of the last mile," he told TechCrunch.

In recent years, the rapid growth of e-commerce and urbanization has significantly increased the demand for efficient delivery solutions, especially in densely populated cities with narrow streets, historic districts, and restricted vehicle access. Traditional delivery vans and trucks often struggle to navigate such environments, leading to congestion, delays, and inefficiencies. Recognizing these challenges, designers have turned their focus toward developing smarter, more agile vehicles specifically tailored to urban logistics.

As cities grow more crowded and online shopping becomes a daily habit, the need for smarter and more considerate delivery solutions has never been greater. Enter PAT, an autonomous delivery robot designed to master the last mile, which is the final stretch from distribution center to your front door. PAT stands out in a crowded field not only because of its innovative technology but also because of its thoughtful approach to blending into the urban fabric.
