Robot Bots Delivering Food in D.C. | Washington DC News

D.C. is rolling out robot delivery bots called Coco to handle short, local food runs—think Thai, ice cream, and groceries—all within two miles, slashing delivery times to 30 minutes. These five-mph bots, designed to work alongside—not replace—human drivers, use smart tech to avoid obstacles, reroute in real time, and even alert visually impaired users via Blind Square. Safety first: they slow or stop if you get too close, and you unlock your order via phone. Starting in Logan Circle, this robotic revolution is set to expand across the city, making deliveries faster, cheaper, and more accessible for everyone.
