In April 2025, DoorDash expanded a pilot of Coco Robotics delivery robots its international arm Wolt had been running in Helsinki, Finland to Los Angeles and Chicago. This latest augmentation of the program introduces grocery and everyday essentials to the types of deliveries DoorDash fulfills via Coco robots.
"Through DoorDash Labs, we're advancing autonomous solutions that help us serve even more consumers and retailers with new, innovative delivery options," said Harrison Shih, head of product for DoorDash Labs. "We're thrilled to broaden our partnership with Coco Robotics to Miami, bringing the convenience of autonomous delivery to everything from weekly grocery hauls to late-night cravings through DashMart."
In addition to filling DashMart orders, the robots will also support deliveries for national grocers and retailers for the first time via the hosted DashMart Fulfillment Services offering. According to DoorDash, this partnership reflects its broader autonomous delivery platform strategy, which integrates human drivers, drones and autonomous robots in an effort to meet increasing demand while lowering emissions and traffic congestion.
"These new deliveries through DashMart further strengthen our partnership with DoorDash and reflect the growing need for autonomous delivery solutions to keep up with demand across all types of goods," said Zach Rash, co-founder and CEO of Coco Robotics. "And with our latest expansion together into a dynamic urban environment like Miami, we can bring autonomous delivery to more customers, as well as to restaurants and retailers through DashMart and beyond."
