Rover
A ground crew member for the last few hundred metres, where a parcel is heavy, the distance is short and the route is private. Chassis and drive are being drawn from scratch rather than bought in.
NOT OPERATING. NO ROVER CARRIES CUSTOMER PARCELS TODAY. EVERY NUMBER ON THIS PAGE IS A TARGET.
Carry heavy or batched parcels between a gate, a hub, a drop box and a door inside private ground: campuses, industrial estates, gated communities. Short legs, repeated, with no rider fatigue and no traffic to fight.
It is not a pavement robot for public roads. If a leg needs public road, the dispatcher gives it to a rider.
Phase one is a single private site that agrees to host it — one real route, run at our own risk, watched by an operator. Phase two adds partner campuses that sign a geofence. Public-road operation is not on the roadmap.
PHASE 2 TARGET: PARTNER CAMPUSES, 2028
Speed capped below a brisk walk. Contact bumper and dual-channel emergency stop, reachable by anyone standing next to it. It yields to people always, and stops rather than negotiates.
An operator watches every unit in phase one, takes over on request, and every intervention is logged and reviewed weekly.
