BRIN Showcases DELL-E Robot, Innovation For Short Distance Logistics

JAKARTA The National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) shows off a smart autonomous robot called DELL-E. The robot, which was displayed at the 2025 Public Information Disclosure Exhibition, managed to attract attention.

Developed by BRIN's Smart Mekatronika Research Center, DELL-E is specially designed as Autonomous Last-Mile Delivery Vehicle. This robot aims to support the need for short-distance logistics (last-mile delivery) in various environments.

The robot's operational areas include campuses, office buildings, settlements, and commercial areas. BRIN's Research Center for Smart Mekatronika, Roni Permana, explained that DELL-E uses multi-sensor autonomous navigation that combines LiDAR, IMU, and GPS.

This technology is supported by a camera based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) to recognize the environment in real-time. This advanced robot has also been equipped with cloud system integration and fleet management.

This feature allows simultaneous monitoring of the status, scheduling of missions, and coordination between rmada. All these capabilities are realized through the Internet of Things (IoT) technology.

DELL-E also prioritizes the safety aspect of users. This robot uses a strict RFID, QR code, or mobile app-based authentication system to ensure only registered users can pick up the package.

All transaction data is automatically recorded on cloud servers to maintain privacy. The robot has a maximum speed of about 6 km/h, can operate up to 6 hours of operation with a single charge, and its payload capacity is about 15 kilograms.

DELL-E is still in the testing stage of function for now. However, Roni said that this robot research has reached 90 percent. This robot still needs to be refined and it is not yet known when it can operate normally.
