Avride’s next-gen delivery robot ditches two wheels and adds NVIDIA AI brains

Autonomous delivery vehicle company Avride redesigned its robot buggy with a four-wheel chassis, replacing the old six-wheel model. This design enables instant 180-degree turns, effortless incline parking and faster speeds without compromising safety.

These included additional friction and tire wear caused by excessive braking required for turns, lower maneuverability and less precise trajectory execution. “This design allows the wheels to rotate both inward and outward, reducing friction during turns,” the company wrote in its announcement blog post. Central to the new design is ditching the traditional front and rear axles for mechanically connected wheel pairs on each side.
