Qatari tech firm Snoonu aims to deploy autonomous delivery robots in Qatar between late 2026 and early 2027, integrating physical AI over the next three years to tackle the region's climate and infrastructure. Abdulaziz al-Qahtani, general manager of S Cloud & Robotics at Snoonu, explained that achieving this level of AI integration typically takes 36-40 months, with the company targeting a three-year timeline.
Speaking at the Autonomous e-Mobility (AEMOB) Forum, al-Qahtani emphasized the goal of deploying physical AI solutions that adapt dynamically to environmental conditions. He noted that off-the-shelf global solutions struggle in Qatar's extreme weather, making locally tailored software and hardware crucial for reliability. This initiative aligns with Snoonu's collaboration with the Qatar Research, Development, and Innovation (QRDI) Council, supporting Qatar National Vision 2030 and paving the way for expansion into the Gulf Co-operation Council (GCC) and Middle East.
Snoonu's AI delivery robots aim to boost efficiency and reduce carbon footprints, contributing to sustainability goals. The company plans to scale the technology across the GCC and Middle East, transforming urban logistics while promoting a greener future.
