Uber is launching an artificial intelligence-based autonomous robot delivery service in Japan, in partnership with Mitsubishi Electric and Cartken. The alliance plans to put the new service into operation starting next month, initially in selected areas of Tokyo, before gradually rolling out to cover the entire city.

Japan is the second country, after the US, where Uber Eats will offer this type of service. The robots will be built by American company Cartken and operated by Mitsubishi Electric, whose employees will be able to monitor them remotely to ensure all goes smoothly.
