The project was initiated in order to explore the possibilities of implementing autonomous vehicles in an existing urban environment and examine potential combined operations between these vehicles, it is also relevant to assess the feasibility of integrating autonomous vehicles into a delivery chain spanning various destinations and determine whether this can be accomplished in a fully autonomous manner. During these tests, data analysis will also be conducted to evaluate the efficiency, emissions reductions, and time savings compared to current methods. The aim has been to show that interaction between a delivery robot and a self-driving vehicle is possible. The underlying idea can be summarized as increasing the delivery robot's range and shortening the delivery time by carpooling with self-driving vehicles. The SAT project is divided into five parts: business models, urban development, transport efficiency, digital interaction between traffic types (bus/robot) and user perspective. In order to be able to carry out tests, the Hugo robot has been adapted for testing on the Chalmers campus, both to be able to deliver mail unmanned and to be able to travel with the autonomous bus.

Projektet har vidareutvecklat ändpunkter för autonoma leveranser och kopplat samman självkörande minibussar och leveransrobotar. Målsättningen har varit att bidra till att göra framtidens urbana gods- och persontransporter mer hållbara, effektiva, tillgängliga och säkra. Viktiga delområden som adresserats i projektet har varit fordonsteknik, transporteffektivitet, användarperspektiv, affärsmodeller och stadsutveckling. SAT-projektet är uppdelat i fem delar: affärsmodeller, stadsutveckling, transporteffektivitet, digital samverkan mellan trafikslag (buss/robot) och användarperspektiv. För att kunna göra tester har Hugoroboten anpassats för testning på Chalmers campus, både för att kunna dela ut post obemannat och kunna åka med den autonoma bussen.
