Rob.Y: Extending the YAPE Autonomy Platform Beyond Logistics

Rob.Y: Extending the YAPE Autonomy Platform Beyond Logistics

Having positioned itself at the forefront of last-mile delivery technology, YAPE had a vision in mind: bring the power of the YAPE Autonomy Platform to different types of vehicles. That vision has turned to reality with Rob.Y—a fully autonomous digital chassis that serves as demonstrator of the scalability and versatility of YAPE’s innovative technology.


A product born from the joint development with e-Shock and Streparava, Rob.Y sets a new benchmark in YAPE’s mapless autonomy. This development not only showcases the versatility of the platform but also positions YAPE at the forefront of autonomous technology in sectors outside of logistics.

Last-Mile Delivery to Multi-Vehicle Autonomy

YAPE’s competence in last-mile delivery laid the groundwork for a bigger vision: deploying its Level 4 autonomy to vehicles in various sectors. With its mapless and scalable architecture, the YAPE Autonomy Platform easily deploys to new terrains and operations, demonstrating that its abilities are much more than just suited to urban areas environments.
Rob.Y is the pioneering demonstrator of this ambitious expansion.

The importance of YAPE Autonomy Platform

Map-Free Autonomy: No maps needed for navigation, allowing flexible and dynamic use in diverse conditions.
Portable Applications: YAPE’s platform supports several vehicles of various sizes and applications, with industry-specific customizations.
Diverse Industry Applications: With logistics and agriculture to construction and industrial mobility, YAPE Autonomy Platform unlocks the potential to a world of endless applications.

Leveraging on network to create valuable synergies: YAPE, e-Shock, e-Novia and Streparava

Rob.Y is the result of the collaborative efforts between:

  • e-Shock played a pioneering role in the field of mechatronics and intelligent systems and leveraged its knowledge in vehicle systems dynamics to make Rob.Y highly efficient and reliable.
  • Streparava, a worldwide automotive component engineering company, contributed with the modular chassis, improving Rob.Y’s durability and versatility.
  • YAPE, turned Rob-Y into an autonomous vehicle by contributing with its cutting-edge Autonomy Platform.
