Presentation of Vaive Logistics’ real-world experience in deploying autonomous delivery robots for sustainable last-mile logistics, showcasing ONA, an autonomous, electric delivery robot successfully piloted in dense urban environments such as Barcelona and Esplugues de Llobregat (Spain), Debrecen (Hungary), and Andorra. Drawing on projects like LogiSmile and BotNet, the presentation will highlight how autonomous vehicles can reduce congestion, emissions, and noise while safely interacting with pedestrians. The talk will share technical, operational, and social lessons learned, demonstrating how robotics and autonomy can realistically scale to transform urban logistics.

• How autonomous delivery robots can cut last-mile traffic and emissions in dense urban areas
• Key technical and operational lessons from real-world autonomous delivery pilots in European cities
• How to integrate autonomous robots into urban logistics networks and superblock environments
• Critical social acceptance and regulatory insights for scaling autonomous last-mile solutions
• How research-driven spin-offs can turn pilot projects into scalable autonomous logistics businesses
