Tiny Mile

Tiny Mile, based in Canada, was founded by two ex-Uber engineers. The company develops a remotely controlled delivery droid, called “Geoffrey,” that travels on sidewalks for last-mile food delivery. With 12 hours of battery life, the bot travels at a speed of 3.7 mph and is equipped with cameras and GPS for navigation. Furthermore, the bots can carry a payload of 20 lbs covering a mile radius. The dorids operate with a 5G connection, enabling high-definition video telematics data capabilities for improved safety and real-time decision-making.

The company has integrations with food delivery services while partnering restaurants have the option of self-delivery on these integration partners’ apps, which the company claims to save restaurants 50% of the commission paid for these delivery services. Tiny Mile charges a delivery fee from the consumer. As of March 2024, the service was available for restaurant partners in Miami, Florida.
