There are several companies developing robotic delivery carts designed to navigate through doorways and perform last-mile delivery services in various settings. Here are some notable examples:

Quasi Robotics offers the Model C2, an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) specifically engineered for internal material transport. This model is equipped with sensors for obstacle avoidance, depth perception for localization, and the ability to navigate through confined spaces like doorways. It can adjust to low-light conditions and respond quickly to hazards, ensuring safe and efficient delivery within facilities.

Cartken provides autonomous robots for delivery tasks, capable of operating both indoors and outdoors. Their robots are designed with multi-sensor cameras to enhance safety and can handle navigating through doorways among other environmental challenges. These robots are used for delivering food, groceries, and packages, catering to a 3-mile radius service area.

Starship Technologies, known for their sidewalk-driving robots, has been involved in numerous deployments, including college campuses and urban areas. Their robots can carry items within a 4-mile radius, navigate around objects, people, and through doorways, making them suitable for last-mile delivery solutions.

Serve Robotics (formerly under Postmates and now an independent entity) produces robots designed for urban sidewalk navigation, which includes passing through doorways. These robots use Lidar for navigation and have a touchscreen for customer interaction, with a capacity of 50 pounds.

These robotic solutions are part of a broader trend towards automating delivery services to enhance efficiency, reduce costs.
