Starship, the Estonian robot delivery company, has never been busier. Since the UK brought in social distancing measures that limited people's ability to go shopping, the number of deliveries made by its fleet of autonomous robots has rocketed. "Our robots have gone from a convenience to a necessity for a lot of people, and that is a big mental shift." "We are expanding into new neighbourhoods every week. Prior to the Covid-19 crisis, we'd expand into a new area monthly, but now we are constantly getting enquiries asking if we can deliver in new places," says Henry Harris-Burland, vice president of marketing at Starship.
