Aitonomi TeleRetail

Switzerland-based Aitonomi TeleRetail develops fully autonomous electric transport systems including an autonomous tractor-tailer and a delivery droid. The droids are retrofitted with its proprietary “AutoPilot” self-driving software and can carry payloads of up to 66 lbs, traveling at speeds up to 35 mph. The company has offices in Switzerland, Germany, and the US, with an operational focus in Europe and North America.

Teleretail targeted a subscription-based business model where both customers and businesses could subscribe for robot deliveries.

Key customers and partnerships

As of February 2024, the robots were operational in resorts, hotels, campuses, and amusement parks. In early 2019, the company successfully concluded a pilot run in a partnership with Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) to deliver items from a distribution center to drinks outlets in London.
