Autonomous robots company Coco Robotics and food delivery firm DoorDash have expanded their partnership to include groceries and everyday essentials.

The two California-based firms are scaling autonomous deliveries across Los Angeles, Chicago and, for the first time, Miami.

Coco’s robots now fulfil select orders from DashMart, DoorDash’s owned and operated delivery-only sites that offer customers fresh groceries, retail items, household essentials, local favourites and more delivered to their doorstep. DoorDash’s network of DashMart locations also power DashMart fulfilment services, a new model for retailers to strengthen the reach of their products and gain visibility with potential new customers.

Through this expanded partnership, Coco will now support deliveries on behalf of national grocers and retailers for the first time via DashMart fulfilment services (about.doordash.com/en-us/news/doordash-unveils-dashmart-fulfillment-services).

The Miami expansion marks the next step in a partnership between Coco and DoorDash. The two companies first began working together to power autonomous deliveries in Los Angeles and Chicago this year. Following the success of early DashMart pilots, which included more than 14,000 deliveries completed by Coco and DoorDash, the companies are now scaling their autonomous delivery partnership to serve more customers.

Coco’s fleet of robots offers an efficient, convenient and sustainable way to access groceries and everyday essentials, while supporting DoorDash’s broader multi-modal delivery platform strategy, which integrates Dashers, drones and autonomous robots to help meet rising demand, reduce emissions and ease traffic congestion.

“These new deliveries through DashMart further strengthen our partnership with DoorDash and reflect the growing need for autonomous delivery to keep up with demand across all types of goods,” said Zach Rash, 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.”

Harrison Shih, head of product for DoorDash Labs, added: “Through DoorDash Labs, we’re advancing autonomous solutions that help us serve even more consumers and merchants with new, innovative delivery options. 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.”

Coco has already completed more than 500,000 zero-emission deliveries and is rapidly expanding its fleet as part of a capital-efficient approach to real-world autonomy. The company is on track to deploy more than 10,000 robots in 2026, applying research-driven advancements across millions of kilometres of urban deliveries while continuing to grow its international presence.

Coco Robotics (www.cocodelivery.com) was founded in 2020 and has completed more than 500,000 zero-emission deliveries in cities across the USA and Europe, serving restaurants, retailers and on-demand grocery services.

Since its founding in 2013, DoorDash (www.doordash.com) has expanded to more than 40 countries, using technology and logistics to shape the future of local commerce and broaden access to opportunity. With a growing international presence that now includes Deliveroo and Wolt, DoorDash combines global scale with local expertise to serve communities around the world.
