Implementace robotů firmy Starship Technologies do českého prostředí

In this bachelor's thesis, a survey of the autonomous robots of the company Starship Technologies is carried out. These electric-powered robots specialize in delivering small and medium-sized items (most often food) over the last mile. The existing types of delivery that dominate the last mile are not very environmentally friendly. The aim of the thesis is to identify the strengths and weaknesses of delivery using autonomous robots, to compare the costs of operating robots with human couriers and to find out the view of Czech society on the possible introduction of this technology in the Czech Republic. The thesis used data about companies available on the Internet and a quantitative questionnaire survey was prepared. The benefit of the work is the creation of documents for the company's possible entry into the Czech market. The bachelor's thesis shows that the operating costs of robots should be considerably lower than the costs of paying couriers. Respondents' reactions to ecological delivery through autonomous robots were mostly positive. The thesis did not find any more serious reasons that would make it impossible for Starship Technologies to operate in the Czech environment.
