Coco Robotics launches Coco 2 autonomous robots for urban deliveries

Autonomous delivery robot company Coco Robotics announced the launch of Coco 2, its next-generation autonomous delivery robot.

The company said this is a major milestone in the company’s evolution into a physical AI leader, as Coco 2 represents the shift from human-guided robotics to full autonomy.

Coco 2 serves urban areas

Coco said that its new robots adapt more quickly to new cities, navigate complex urban environments with greater precision and continuously improve through millions of real-world data points. Extending even further into urban logistics, the company said that Coco 2 is designed as a general-purpose urban robotics platform, enabling city-wide movement of goods for all types of businesses from restaurants and grocers to pharmacies and local retailers, expanding far beyond traditional sidewalk food deliveries

Coco said that Coco 2’s capabilities are powered by the industry’s largest dataset of sidewalk robot operations, built from millions of miles navigating complex urban environments - including flooded streets in Miami, heavy snow and freezing temperatures in Chicago and dense traffic in Los Angeles - conditions that can disrupt urban logistics. The company said that this operational data continuously strengthens the fleet’s AI, enabling safe and efficient deployment in new cities.

“Every mile our robots have driven has made the whole fleet smarter,” said Zach Rash, co-founder and CEO of Coco Robotics. “Human-in-the-loop learnings have helped us improve with every edge case, creating a feedback loop between deployment, data collection, and model advancements. This ongoing process has steadily enhanced our fleet’s intelligence, enabling Coco to operate in new cities with real-time adaptability.”

From sidewalks to citywide autonomy

While Coco began with sidewalk-first delivery, the company said that Coco 2 expands into bike lanes and roads where permitted, reducing delivery times by up to 50 percent compared to the prior generation. With up to three times longer uptime and improved resilience to weather and wear, the company added that Coco 2 also increases daily order capacity while lowering cost per mile.

Coco 2 builds upon Coco’s Urban Robotic Platform to lower the cost per mile and increase the range and reliability of delivery, which the company said makes instant delivery affordable at scale for any business, on any delivery platform and across a wide range of basket sizes.

Today, Coco powers autonomous delivery through Uber Eats, DoorDash and Wolt, and serves more than 3,000 merchants and restaurants from local favorites to national brands.

Coco said it is on track to scale its fleet to thousands of robots globally by the end of 2026.

NVIDIA powers the intelligence behind Coco 2

Coco said that by utilizing NVIDIA Omniverse libraries, open robotics simulation and learning frameworks Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab, along with NVIDIA Cosmos world foundation models, the company can create physically accurate simulations and synthetic data, or computer-generated scenarios that mimic real streets, pedestrians, vehicles and obstacles.

This allows Coco’s AI to safely practice navigating complex city streets and edge cases before ever leaving the warehouse.

"The era of physical AI has arrived, and scaling it requires a seamless loop between massive real-world data and high-performance edge computing," said Amit Goel, head of strategic partnerships at NVIDIA. "By leveraging NVIDIA’s full robotics stack, Coco is accelerating the deployment of autonomous systems that can safely navigate the complexities of our cities at scale."

Coco 2 robots run on NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX, a robotic computing platform that processes data much faster and more efficiently directly on the robot, without relying on cloud connections. Coco said that this combination of NVIDIA accelerated computing and software creates a fully integrated driving system that lets Coco 2 see and understand its surroundings, anticipate movement, plan routes and execute maneuvers smoothly and safely.

Coco crashes in a Los Angeles garden

KTLA reported that a Coco delivery robot crashed into an East Hollywood resident’s garden at the end of February 2026.

Supply Chain 24/7, a Peerless Media publication, said that the homeowner, Kaiya Reel, told KTLA she heard a noise and went outside to investigate.

“It had got my fence caught up in its wheel. It uprooted a whole bunch of plants in my garden and then just drove away with the fence attached to it,” Reel said.

Upon publication of the original KTLA story, Coco Robotics had not responded for comment on the incident.
