Arrive AI and Purdue University Begin Discussions on Autonomous Delivery Infrastructure Testing

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / October 20, 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 discussions with Purdue University to explore testing of Arrive Point™ technology with a range of robot platforms.

As part of the discussions, Purdue representatives are planning to visit Arrive AI's headquarters in Fishers, Indiana. The organizations are exploring using Arrive Point™ technology on Purdue's campus to test delivery and handoff workflows across multiple robot form factors, including humanoid and quadruped robots, among others.

Arrive AI is also expected to participate in a seminar hosted by Purdue's Institute for Control, Optimization and Networks (ICON) (https://engineering.purdue.edu/ICON) in spring 2027 to discuss autonomous delivery infrastructure, as part of the institute's ongoing speaker series, with details to be confirmed. ICON is an interdisciplinary research institute within Purdue Engineering focused on autonomy, robotics, and connected systems.

"Universities like Purdue are where a lot of the next generation of robotics talent and technology is coming from," said Dan O'Toole, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Arrive AI. "Getting our infrastructure in front of researchers working across so many different kinds of robots gives us an opportunity to explore how Arrive Points™ can support secure, reliable handoffs across the whole range of platforms this industry is building."
