In Venice Beach today, a self-driving robot named Coconut was seen traversing the boardwalk to make a delivery. Developed by Santa Monica-based Coco Robotics, this robot offers a sustainable and accessible method for on-demand deliveries including snacks, groceries, and household items. The service boasts a 15% service fee with no mandatory tipping, no minimum order requirement, and no concealed charges.
Zach Rash, Co-founder & CEO of Coco Robotics, emphasized the company's local roots and commitment to the community, especially highlighted during the pandemic. "Our goal was to utilize our expertise in robotics to support our community. We offer affordable, contact-free delivery and generate local employment by hiring residents to remotely manage the robots, ensuring responsible operations across neighborhoods," Rash explained.
