The InPost Robomat is a compact take on the parcel locker, built for spots with very little floor space, such as Żabka convenience stores. Unlike a classic Paczkomat with dozens of separate compartments, the Robomat has just one pickup window. Parcels are moved to it from an internal storage area by a Cartesian robot travelling along three axes. The maximum parcel weight is 7 kg.
Pickup and drop-off work with a QR code in the InPost Mobile app or a code entered on the built-in touchscreen. The machine has been running in Poland since August 2022 and forms part of InPost's own logistics infrastructure. It is not sold as a standalone product, so there is no market purchase price.
Compared with a classic InPost Paczkomat, the Robomat offers far lower throughput, since a single window serves one parcel at a time instead of giving parallel access to many compartments. In return it takes up a fraction of the space, which makes it a solution for micro-locations where a standard Paczkomat simply will not fit.
Against the parcel lockers of rival operators, such as Orlen Paczka or DPD Pickup, the Robomat stands out for using a robotic mechanism instead of static compartments, an approach rarely seen on the Polish market.

Running and deployment costs
You cannot buy a Robomat, so a purchase cost in the customer's sense does not exist: the device is a piece of InPost infrastructure, not a product for end customers. No public list price was found.
On the user's side, the cost is the service itself: the shipping or pickup fee according to the operator's price list, which InPost sets. We do not quote amounts because they are not.
As a rough estimate for the parcel company itself, a unit with mechanics and electronics probably costs considerably more than an ordinary compartment. InPost does not disclose this, so treat it as a direction, not a number. The Robomat is not offered to other businesses, so the topic does not apply. No user training is needed, because operating it means scanning a QR code.

Applications
What it's for
The Robomat is a single-window variant of the InPost parcel locker: the customer scans a QR code from the InPost Mobile app, a single compartment opens and the parcel is right there. Behind the wall, a Cartesian robot moving along three axes carries the package from an internal store to the window.
It was born from a simple need: a classic multi-compartment Paczkomat takes up a lot of room, and a small shop often has nowhere to put one. The Robomat has one window and a mechanism that delivers the right parcel to it (7 kg maximum). Pickup and drop-off are handled with a QR code in the app or a code on the built-in touchscreen. The device has been running in Poland since August 2022, and the documented place of use is Żabka stores.
In practice it is a solution for micro-locations (retail) and last-mile logistics. As a robot it is unusual: it does not drive, it does not walk, and it has no face. It is part of the logistics infrastructure of InPost S.A., not something you can buy for your own business. Still, it fits neatly into the bigger picture: warehouse and delivery automation (warehouses) is one of the fastest-growing fields in robotics today, and the Robomat shows that a Polish company can roll out its own quiet solutions at national scale. For more on how robots move goods around, see “AMR Robots in the Warehouse”.
Typical applications
Who it's for
Yes: for InPost users, meaning parcel recipients and senders who live or shop near a store with one of these machines. Also yes for anyone interested in logistics who wants to see Cartesian robots at work outside a factory.
No: for companies looking for a parcel locker for their own network, because the Robomat is not sold as a standalone product. No for anyone who needs to send a parcel heavier than 7 kg. And no for those looking for a mobile robot for a warehouse; look at mobile robots and specialist robots instead. If you are comparing models with a purchase in mind, “How to Read a Robot Datasheet” will help.
Deployments
Confirmed deployment: Żabka stores in Poland, where the device has operated since August 2022. Our sources give no exact number of units, so we do not state one.
Where else to look for robots in logistics: mobile robots (MiR, Locus, AGILOX) and the map of companies in “Polish Robotics Companies”.
Comparison
The direct market competitors are the parcel lockers of other operators, such as Orlen Paczka or DPD Pickup, along with InPost's own classic multi-compartment Paczkomat. The Paczkomat has higher throughput but needs more space. From our robot catalog, the ones worth a look come from the related field of delivery and transport.
Starship Delivery Robot is an autonomous delivery robot with more than 10 million deliveries in over 300 cities and up to 18 hours of battery life; it is not yet available in Poland. Instead of waiting for the customer at a locker, it drives to them.
Pudu T300 is an industrial AMR for material transport with a 300 kg payload, compliant with ISO 3691-4 and available in Poland; the catalog lists about 67,527 PLN (≈ EUR 15,470 at NBP rate 4.3641 of 21 October 2026). This is a level of in-house logistics, not last-mile delivery.
MiR250 is an agile AMR with a 250 kg payload for internal transport, priced on request only.
Locus Origin is a warehouse robot for order picking with a 36 kg payload, sold on a subscription model.

History
The Robomat debuted in Poland in August 2022; our catalog lists that month as both the unveiling and the start of operation. It came out of a company founded in Kraków in 2006, which built the Paczkomat network and became one of the symbols of Polish e-commerce logistics.
The idea was a response to the limits of the classic locker: if there is no room for many compartments, a robot can move the parcel into a single window. The sources describe no later generations and we have no confirmed announcements of network expansion, so we stick to the fact that the device has been working in Żabka stores since 2022.

Frequently asked questions
Is the InPost Robomat available in Poland?
Yes, the model is available through the retailers in Poland listed on this page.
Where can you find an InPost Robomat?
In Żabka stores across Poland. The machine has been operating there since August 2022 as an alternative to the classic Paczkomat.
How much does a Robomat cost?
It is not sold as a standalone product. It is part of InPost's infrastructure, so there is no public purchase price.
How is a Robomat different from a regular Paczkomat?
It has only a single pickup window served by a Cartesian robot instead of many parallel compartments, which is why it takes up far less space.
