Arrive AI has invested $100,000 in Ottonomy, Inc. through a SAFE note. The autonomous logistics infrastructure company also signed a deployment agreement for up to 50 ground robots. The two companies already operate together at Hancock Regional Hospital in Greenfield, Indiana.
Partnership terms
The agreement combines Arrive AI's secure handoff infrastructure and Arrive OS with Ottonomy's delivery robots. It includes room for additional deployments as the relationship develops. Delivery can occur without a person meeting the robot when it arrives.
Live hospital operations
At Hancock Regional Hospital, Ottonomy robots transport specimens between facilities. They use Arrive Point secure delivery endpoints for unattended handoffs. The approach is designed to reduce staff time spent coordinating and carrying deliveries.
Robot-agnostic platform
Arrive Points provide secure places for goods to be deposited, stored, and retrieved. Arrive OS supports handoffs across drones, ground robots, autonomous vehicles, and human couriers. The company says its platform allows customers to use delivery technologies suited to their environments.
Arrive AI and Ottonomy intend to pursue additional deployments beyond the 50 robots. Expansion volumes and timing remain subject to implementation and are not guaranteed. The companies called the agreement a starting point for broader connected delivery operations.
