Feeling hungry during your visit to Expo 2020 this year? Fear not, because in a true spirit of innovation, talabat hopes to provide a modern solution to your food delivery needs. The company has partnered with Terminus Group, the official robotics partner of Expo 2020, to launch autonomous food delivery robots at Expo 2020. With sustainability being one of the key sub-themes of Expo 2020, the two companies have collaborated to develop an efficient and sustainable food delivery solution, which leverages both the talabat app interface and Terminus’ robot management system to provide a safe delivery solution that can deliver thousands of orders per day. Using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) for point-to-point food delivery, the robots will transport orders from Talabat’s two-story cloud kitchen at Expo 2020 to customers at designated delivery points on the Expo site. Customers can unlock robots using unique QR codes or order IDs to ensure food is delivered to customers safely, contactlessly and seamlessly.
