Robomart, the American robotics pioneer building self-driving smart shops for retailers, established a strategic Memorandum of Understanding with PIX Moving. This MOU sets the stage for Robomart to leverage PIX’s RoboBus and autonomous vehicle manufacturing prowess to enhance Robomart’s fleet of autonomous mobile retail stores.
This collaboration opens up new avenues for the application of PIX Moving Spaces in unmanned retail scenarios as Robomart smart shops. The initial deployment of autonomous mobile retail stores will take place in California, featuring unmanned ice cream parlors, cafés and quick service restaurants.
Robomart is transforming retail with innovative, on-demand autonomous stores, combining cutting-edge technology with a cost-effective white-label platform. These stores have been designed to be the smartest and most secure shops in existence. They feature advanced systems, including proprietary checkout-free technology, temperature-controlled compartments, and sophisticated sensors for seamless autonomous operation, all enhanced by external cameras for 24/7 monitoring and security.

This innovative operating model affords retailers with the mobile real-estate and technology to simplify their consumers’ shopping process by eliminating a range of tedious steps such as ordering, picking up, packaging, and waiting in line for checkout. Shopping can now be as convenient as using Uber, with no need for customers to commute to stores.

Robomart has already contracted major customers, including Unilever (Ben & Jerry’s), Mars, Fatty Mart and others, for over 100 Robomarts.
PIX Moving will be working closely with Robomart to expand their autonomous fleet via the innovative PIX Moving Spaces and exploring various additional business use cases.
