Wolt has shown its robot food courier in Hungary for the first time

Wolt showcased its autonomous food delivery robot at the Forbes Checkout Day in Hungary, marking its first public demonstration. The company has not confirmed plans for local service implementation yet. In Finland, Wolt collaborates with Coco Robotics, having begun testing in August 2024, with full operations starting in March 2025. The S-group dominates the Finnish market with a robotic delivery service operating over 650 robots across 79 locations. Robots are not classified as pedestrians or vehicles in Finland, requiring special permissions and following pedestrian rules. Recent incidents highlight challenges, including a robot causing a bus to brake suddenly in Tallinn, resulting in injuries.
