Operations
Our operational teams include three primary functions: on-site operations, remote monitoring & piloting of our robots, and customer support.
Part of our operations is also ensuring that our robots are healthy and making sure any possible reliability issues are detected early on in the product life cycle. Our Support & Deployment team is responsible for providing in-depth technical support to our operators, handlers and partners. The team is also coordinating and planning how the robots are deployed at the right time and in the right places across all the countries we operate in.📍 USA, UK, Estonia
-
Data
Our Data team empowers teams to make data-driven decisions, both on business and product development aspects. Data team provides tools and infrastructure for large-scale data processing and analytics, builds and maintains a number of predictive microservices, and guides the organization with data by carrying out analyses and building dashboards & reports.

Autonomous Driving
Autonomous driving in human spaces is at the heart of our robot, and is one of the widest and most interesting software engineering challenges today. The AD team develops the software to solve these probabilistic problems on the robot in real-time and without the internet. This has been developed into an over two million line code base handling many requirements of an autonomous vehicle, including but not limited to image recognition using deep learning, shape recognition and tracking plus path planning.

-
Marketplace
We are building our own marketplace which is a full blown e-commerce challenge.
The marketplace handles the order flow end to end, starting from when the consumers make the order through our consumer application all the way to it being fulfilled by the merchants. Our marketplace consists of the e-commerce transactional engine including the payment integrations plus the frontend of consumers and merchants.📍 Finland, Estonia
-
Core Services
Our Core Services team is building the time critical distributed systems and infrastructure that forms the backbone of our platform. Building the backend that powers a rapidly growing fleet of robots is a challenge unlike any other. Scalable near real-time backend applications, reliable infrastructure on top of the public cloud, containerized microservices, low latency network communication, handling live telemetry and streaming video, optimal routing decisions, connecting to autonomous Linux powered devices driving on sidewalks… just to name a few.

-
Fleet
Each of our sites has tens to hundreds of robots, and demand for even more orders at any given time. Our Fleet management solutions are matching the right robot with the right tasks to optimise delivery times and fulfil the ETA promises we’ve made to our consumers. Fleet Orchestration is very much a data science application evolving through continuous real life iterations.

-
Operations Services
When robots need a virtual helping hand, our remote operators can take control of the robots and solve the cases on the fly.
Sometimes robots and merchants need a physical helping hand and hence we have local field operators, whose work is guided through the field assistant application that helps them solve the daily duties.📍 Estonia
-
Hardware Engineering
Our hardware team is designing and building our robots. They are responsible for the electronics and mechanics of the robot, but also embedded software, operating system and communication layer of the robot, and the infrastructure around the robot.
📍 Estonia
-
Manufacturing
The Manufacturing team is working on the construction of robots and their accessories.
This includes ordering components and enhancing the means of production, to improve the quality of the robots and make the production more efficient day by day.📍 Estonia
-
Product
Our Product team is the integral link between our customers, teams, and robots. They make sure that our customers are delighted by our service, that our teams are empowered and have a clear roadmap, and that we are delivering everyday magic with our groundbreaking autonomous delivery robots.

The Soyuz MS-14 manned spacecraft carrying the Russian robot Fedor has docked at the International Space Station. The transporter was supposed to dock with the ISS on August 24, but the first attempt was unsuccessful.
On Tuesday, the Soyuz MS-14 managed to dock to the aggregate compartment of the Zvezda service module in automatic mode. The docking took place a few minutes ahead of schedule - at 06:08 Moscow time.
According to Roskosmos, in addition to the Fedor robot, the Soyuz delivered about 670 kg of dry cargo to the ISS.
Fedor himself, who runs his Twitter account, apologized for being late. "I'm sorry for the delay. I'm stuck in traffic. I'm ready to continue working," the message says.
NASA confirmed successful docking.
Robot Fedor should return to Earth on September 7th. As the head of Roscosmos, Dmitry Rogozin, said, the main tasks of the robot for this flight include transmitting telemetry, determining parameters related to flight safety and conducting experiments.
Delayed docking
According to the plan, Soyuz MS-14 with robot Fedor was supposed to dock to the ISS on Saturday, August 24th. The ship approached the station at a distance of less than 100 meters, but could not continue the approach due to problems with the radio equipment involved in the operation of the Kurs system. As a result, the ISS crew took the transporter away from the station to a safe distance.

According to Vladimir Soloviev, Flight Director of the Russian Segment of the ISS, during the docking, "vibrations never seen before" occurred.
