Integrated Robotics, Smart Pods and Drones Power Next-Gen Logistics
New Delhi, February 16: Ottonomy Inc. unveiled its end-to-end autonomous delivery ecosystem at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, highlighting how Made-in-India robotics and artificial intelligence are reshaping logistics across healthcare, industrial campuses and urban environments.The ecosystem integrates Level-4 autonomous delivery robots known as Ottobots with smart storage infrastructure called Arrive Points from Arrive AI and drone logistics capabilities from Skyeair Mobility. The combined platform enables seamless, unattended movement of goods across indoor and outdoor environments without manual intervention, the company said in a statement.
Level-4 Ottobots Built for Complex Real-World Navigation
The Made-in-India Ottobots are Level-4 autonomous robots capable of navigating hospital corridors, elevators, sidewalks and service roads. Powered by an AI-driven autonomy stack, the robots interpret their surroundings, adapt to changing conditions and make real-time decisions.“With Ottobots and Arrive Points, we're demonstrating that Made-in-India robots can power world-class automation in US hospitals and global industrial sites,” said Ritukar Vijay, CEO and founder of Ottonomy Inc.
He added that the collaboration with Arrive AI and Skyeair Mobility showcases how India is positioned at the core of advanced, multi-modal logistics solutions presented at the India AI Impact Summit.
Healthcare and Industrial Use Cases
In healthcare, the platform supports the transport of medical supplies, lab specimens, pharmacy orders and non-critical items between wards, laboratories and off-site facilities.Across industrial and logistics campuses, the system enables the movement of parts, tools, maintenance and repair items and quality samples between warehouses, production lines and office spaces.
Arrive AI operates as an autonomous delivery infrastructure company, while Skyeair Mobility is a drone logistics and advanced air mobility company.
World’s First Fully Asynchronous Autonomous Medical Delivery Deployment
At Hancock Regional Hospital in Greenfield, Indiana, Arrive AI and Ottonomy have deployed what they describe as the world’s first fully asynchronous, autonomous medical delivery system using Arrive Points and Ottobots.Arrive Points are positioned across the campus near laboratories, surgical areas and speciality centres. Staff deposit lab samples or supplies into the nearest pod, which dispatches an Ottobot to navigate indoor corridors, elevators and outdoor pathways to deliver items to the designated Arrive Point.
Ottobots operate in varying lighting, weather and traffic conditions while sharing space safely with patients, staff and vehicles. The deployment reduces thousands of manual transport steps daily, allowing clinical staff to focus more on patient care and helping address labour shortages.
Items remain in secure, climate-assisted storage until retrieved by authorised personnel, preserving chain of custody and clinical integrity.
Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Operations
The joint solution enables continuous indoor-outdoor autonomy. Ottobots can move from hospital wards or factory floors through corridors and elevators, exit buildings and traverse sidewalks or service roads to reach perimeter or satellite Arrive Points.This integrated capability allows end-to-end autonomous movement across complex physical environments.
Hyperlocal and Smart-City Expansion in India
In India, Ottonomy, Arrive AI and Skyeair Mobility are collaborating to scale hyperlocal deliveries, quick-commerce operations and smart-city infrastructure.Ottobots and Arrive Points manage first and last 50 metre movements within buildings, technology parks and residential complexes, while Skyeair’s drones extend coverage across dense urban corridors.
The multi-modal network is designed to reduce road congestion, improve delivery predictability and support digital urban infrastructure initiatives.
An Arrive AI spokesperson said that Arrive Points act as the connective layer across ground robots, drones and human workflows. The spokesperson added that the deployment at Hancock Health demonstrates how asynchronous infrastructure and autonomous robots can transform hospital logistics, and that the collaboration in India applies the same model to quick-commerce and smart-city use cases.
AI-Driven Autonomy Stack Anchored in Local Infrastructure
Ottonomy said its autonomy stack runs advanced perception and decision-making models directly on the robot, enabling safe, low-latency operations without constant cloud connectivity.The company stated that this approach aligns with India’s broader AI push towards scalable, affordable and public-good-oriented infrastructure.
With integrated robotics, smart pods and drone corridors, Ottonomy is positioning Indian-built AI and automation systems as a contributor to the evolving global autonomous delivery market.
