PRESS RELEASE — Coco Robotics, a leading autonomous delivery company, and DoorDash, a leading local commerce platform, today announced an expansion of th eir partnership to scale autonomous deliveries across Los Angeles, Chicago, and, for the first time, Miami. This expansion introduces grocery and everyday essentials to the types of deliveries Coco powers through DoorDash.
Coco’s robots now fulfill select orders from DashMart, DoorDash’s owned and operated delivery-only sites that offer customers fresh groceries, retail items, household essentials, local favorites, and more delivered right to their doorstep.

Through this expanded partnership, Coco will now support deliveries on behalf of national grocers and retailers for the first time via DashMart Fulfillment Services.
The Miami expansion marks the next step in a successful partnership between Coco Robotics and DoorDash. The two companies first began working together to power autonomous deliveries in Los Angeles and Chicago this year. Following the success of early DashMart pilots, which included more than 14,000 deliveries completed by Coco and DoorDash, the companies are now scaling their autonomous delivery partnership to serve even more customers. Coco’s fleet of robots offers an efficient, convenient, and sustainable way to access groceries and everyday essentials, while supporting DoorDash’s broader multi-modal delivery platform strategy, which integrates Dashers, drones, and autonomous robots to help meet rising demand, reduce emissions, and ease traffic congestion.
“These new deliveries through DashMart further strengthen our partnership with DoorDash and reflect the growing need for autonomous delivery solutions to keep up with demand across all types of goods,” said Zach Rash, co-founder and CEO of Coco Robotics. “And with our latest expansion together into a dynamic urban environment like Miami, we can bring autonomous delivery to more customers, as well as to restaurants and retailers through DashMart and beyond.”
