Challenges
The rapid growth of e-commerce has exposed critical limitations in urban logistics, including traffic congestion, inefficient delivery routes, and lack of flexibility at the last mile.
The challenge was to envision a delivery system capable of operating autonomously within the city while remaining modular, scalable, and technically coherent.
Solutions
U-Pack was conceived as a modular robotic platform composed of a mobile base and interchangeable cargo units.
The system integrates autonomous navigation, sensor awareness, and sustainable energy solutions to adapt to different delivery scenarios within the urban landscape.
Design Development
Although conceptual, the project was developed using solid design and engineering fundamentals.
Battery storage, suspension, protection systems, and modular architecture were explored to ensure the proposal remained grounded in realistic principles for future development.
Outcome
U-Pack presents a future-oriented vision for urban delivery, combining industrial design, autonomy, and modular thinking into a cohesive system concept.
The project demonstrates how last-mile logistics could evolve toward more efficient, adaptable, and city-friendly solutions through design-driven system thinking.
