RIVR – Revolutionizing Last-Mile Delivery

RIVR is a Swiss robotics company building Physical AI for doorstep delivery, starting with the last mile and the “last 100 yards” that separate curbside drop-off from a successful handoff at the door. By combining artificial neural networks with a wheeled-legged robot design, RIVR aims to make delivery faster, safer, and more sustainable at scale, while giving one human the power of 1,000 robots.

RIVR trains autonomy through reinforcement and supervised learning so its robots can navigate complex urban environments, handle stairs and obstacles, and interact safely alongside people. Each deployment contributes real-world data, creating a flywheel that improves autonomy over time and supports RIVR’s broader push toward General Physical AI.
