SPAR Trials Delivery Robot At Erasmus University Rotterdam
SPAR has commenced a six-month pilot programme at Erasmus University Rotterdam, which will see a delivery robot supply products from its on-campus SPAR University outlet.
The delivery robot, dubbed ‘Rosie’, commenced deliveries earlier this week, and forms part of a collaboration between SPAR University, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the Municipality of Rotterdam, the Metropolitan Region Rotterdam Den Haag and Dutch Automated Mobility (DAM).
According to the University, the pilot project is in line with its objectives to ‘create social impact’ and develop delivery services that have a low environmental footprint.
To use the app, customers need to download the SPAR University app, select products, delivery time (between 8.15am and 4pm) and a pick-up point, and pay in advance.
They will then receive confirmation with a code to ‘open’ Rosie upon arrival. Delivery services are free for the first three months, and after that, the costs are 2.50 per delivery.
