QuikBot Technologies is proud to announce its appointment as a design partner for the Punggol Digital District (PDD) Living Testbed. Alongside industry leaders Grab, Certis, and DHL, QuikBot will support the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA), JTC Corporation, and the Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) in the deployment of precinct-level Physical AI. This milestone builds upon QuikBot’s existing deployment and strategic roadmap for the Punggol Digital District.
In conjunction with this initiative, QuikBot will collaborate with SIT through its new Centre for Intelligent Robotics at PDD. Joining Unitree Robotics and SLAMTEC in this industry, academic, and research collaboration, QuikBot will focus on developing humanoid applications for last-mile delivery, advancing robotics cybersecurity, and building robust Physical AI infrastructure.
The initiative was officially announced during the Asia Tech x Singapore Summit 2026 by Minister Josephine Teo of the Ministry of Digital Development and Information, together with Ms. Chen Hui Ong, Assistant Chief Executive of IMDA, and Professor Kee Chaing (KC) Chua, President of SIT. The announcement marks a major step in Singapore’s push to accelerate the real-world deployment of AI and autonomous systems.
“For a Singapore homegrown deep-tech company, this is a proud milestone,” said Alan Ng, Founder and CEO of QuikBot. “At this moment, I realised that no amount of overseas awards, recognitions, or honours can beat the feeling of standing tall on home ground. After four years of building, testing, running, and believing, QuikBot is now recognised at the national level, standing alongside global leaders and industry giants.”
QuikBot’s journey began with a simple belief: autonomous delivery will not scale through robots alone. It requires foundational infrastructure, trust, governance, and real-world deployment environments. Having built the world’s first Autonomous Final-mile Delivery (AFMD) Platform-as-a-Service, QuikBot has gone beyond traditional autonomous delivery to create a category-defining Ambient Permission Plane—a Trust Infrastructure for Physical AI.
Today, that vision is becoming a core part of Singapore’s national Physical AI journey. We are incredibly proud of the QuikBot team and grateful to IMDA, JTC, SIT, the National Robotics Programme, and all our ecosystem partners for enabling this next chapter.
