Smart-Systems Overcome Today’s Municipal Gridlock Challenge

CrossWing-ATS will produce a series of autonomous delivery and service robots purpose built to leverage Trellis micro rail networks in subsequent deployment phases. These ultralight systems ride above congested surface grids – affordably completing tasks 24×7.
CrossWing’s autonomous robots will leverage and seamlessly traverse the Trellis network to make timely deliveries of:
- meals (hot & cold, includes options for “zero garbage” packaging)
- groceries (including orders delivered to your door at smart buildings)
- products/packages (household goods, shopping bags, luggage, etc.)
- services (security, caseworker, paramedic, monitoring, fire, and others)
- recycling and waste removal (off-peak period operations)
- on a timely and affordable basis “Always Prompt™
European-style sustainable grocery ‘personal pickup’ is truly universal. Arrive back from work; then simply get out of your Pod (at a Stop near your home), and the next autonomous Pod has your evening groceries!

In synchronization with passenger Pod arrivals, prompt robots autonomously riding Cargo Pods are a sustainable delivery breakthrough – the Trellis System promise.
