YAPE, Your Autonomous Pony Express, is the e-Novia ENTERPRISE that has given birth to the first self-driving droid vehicle entirely designed and built in Italy, for both indoor and outdoor low-contact services and last-mile delivery operations. YAPE can easily interact with the environment and can stroll autonomously within private and smart spaces (BOTH OUTDOOR AND INDOOR). Moreover, its reconfigurable glove compartment can fit with different delivery services, from parcel to food. With its secure inner container and its 3D environment perception system, YAPE can make completely unmanned deliveries. YAPE can provide customized services thanks to its advanced technology: the modularity of its software allows the droid to connect with third party systems, from elevators to mobile applications.
