Tashkent to launch Yandex Lavka delivery by autonomous robots by the end of the year
Yandex Uzbekistan plans to launch delivery from Yandex Lavka in Tashkent using autonomous delivery robots by the end of the current year. The devices are already being tested in an urban environment: they move at pedestrian speed, navigate using lidar and ultrasonic sensors, recognize traffic lights and cross the road at pedestrian crossings. The robots were first spotted on the streets of the capital in July, and the Yandex Lavka service itself has been operating in Tashkent since the autumn of 2024.
