delivery robot industry

The Russian government has submitted to the State Duma its draft budget for the next three-year period. Alongside the budget push, the cabinet approved rules for autonomous delivery robots under a pilot regime and earmarked 1.2 billion roubles to support Dagestan's agro-industrial sector, while the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund projects revenues above 5 trillion roubles for 2027.

The UK is emerging as a leading testing ground for autonomous delivery robots, with sidewalk robots operating in towns and cities across the country as companies trial last-mile deliveries of groceries and takeaway food. Industry observers point to supportive regulation and growing public acceptance as reasons robotics firms increasingly choose Britain to pilot their technology.

New figures show that close to half of all service robots sold in 2025 were deployed for transportation and logistics tasks, making it the leading application area for the category. The data highlights how warehouses, delivery operations and supply-chain automation are driving demand for professional service robots. Industry observers point to labor shortages and e-commerce growth as key factors behind the trend.
