Ocado has announced a partnership, including a £10m investment, with Oxford based autonomous vehicle software company Oxbotica to develop a range of vehicles.
The two will collaborate on hardware and software interfaces for autonomous vehicles, enhancing and integrating Oxbotica’s autonomy software platform into a variety of vehicles.
Ocado said the usage will range from vehicles that operate inside of Ocado’s Customer Fulfilment Centre buildings and the yard areas that surround them, all the way to last-mile deliveries and kerb-to-kitchen robots.
The multi-year collaboration has the ultimate ambition of enabling Ocado’s partners that use the Ocado Smart Platform to reduce the costs of last-mile delivery and other logistics operations.
