Arrive AI and Modovolo Partner to Advance Autonomous Drone Delivery

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / October 9, 2026 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), a physical AI and autonomous logistics infrastructure company enabling drones, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), autonomous vehicles (AVs) and human couriers to securely exchange goods, today announced a strategic partnership with Modovolo, maker of the modular Lift drone platform. Together, the two companies are developing an end-to-end autonomous delivery capability in which a drone flies itself to its destination and lowers a package directly into a secure, climate-assisted Arrive Point(™), with no pilot required on the ground, no human hand in the loop, and no package left exposed on a doorstep.

The joint effort combines Modovolo's flight platform, featuring modular payload pods, RTK localization, and long flight endurance, with Arrive AI's patented Arrive Point(™) stations and Arrive OS software. The integration is designed to enable a repeatable, secure handoff from the sky into the Arrive Point(™), supporting autonomous delivery of food, pharmacy orders, retail goods, and more. The partnership follows a structured path from integration development to live test-bed operations at Arrive AI's headquarters, where teams will test the capability, train personnel, and simulate real-world operations. Following successful testing and subject to any required regulatory approvals, the companies plan to conduct live autonomous drone deliveries in a designated area in Fishers, Indiana, where customers will be able to order food and have it delivered by air, straight into an Arrive Point(™). "We've always said the hardest part of autonomous delivery isn't the flight, it's the precision delivery. Modovolo builds a drone that can go the distance. We built the place where every delivery will start and end. Put those two things together and you get delivery that actually works end-to-end, with nobody standing around waiting.
