In May 2026, delivery robots began to be used in Nizhny Novgorod, joining the list of Russian cities where these logistics robots operate.
According to the developers, fourth-generation delivery robots are currently in operation, which represent a new model for large-scale production.
The logistics delivery robots developed by Yandex are used in Moscow and several cities in its region, as well as in St. Petersburg, Kazan, Nizhny Novgorod, and others.
Since the launch of robot delivery services in Russia, these systems have carried out more than one million delivery orders for consumers.
Mass production of the fourth-generation robots, unveiled in the fall of 2025, has also commenced. These are the first robots of their kind to be mass-produced. They feature enhanced capabilities compared to previous generations, including improved terrain traversal and an upgraded lidar system. They are also easier and less expensive to manufacture.
According to the plans, around 20,000 fourth-generation logistics robots are expected to be produced by the end of 2027, gradually replacing previous generations in cities where robot delivery services are available, as well as in new cities where the service will be launched later.
