Devices on Arrive Points will help AI glean more insights to drive innovation

INDIANAPOLIS, IN / ACCESS Newswire / August 22, 2025 / Arrive AI (NASDAQ:ARAI), an autonomous delivery network anchored by patented Arrive Points™, is advancing how its devices harness time-of-flight (TOF) sensors to capture real-time data, cut costs and optimize delivery capacity.

By incorporating TOF sensors, Arrive AI aims to tackle one of the biggest bottlenecks in the delivery industry: inefficient pickups. Currently, couriers – human or autonomous – servicing large mailboxes at strip malls or office complexes follow an inefficient process. Each stop requires physically opening boxes to check for outgoing packages. With TOF-equipped Arrive Points, couriers will know in advance which mailboxes hold items and how much truck space is required. The result is fewer wasted stops, lower fuel and battery use, faster deliveries and reduced congestion.

Beyond logistics, the data can highlight courier efficiency, empowering users to choose the most reliable providers for their delivery or return needs.

“Time is money, and even small gains in logistics efficiency add up fast,” said Arrive AI CEO Dan O’Toole. “This is another way we’re improving the product and redefining the delivery experience for everyone.”

Torrey Bievenour, Arrive AI Chief Technology Officer, said Arrive AI’s research and development team will use TOF data and AI to detect patterns regarding package sizes, counts, delivery times, retrieval times and product times to help streamline supply chains.

The TOF sensors will provide low-resolution data that will be analyzed cost-effectively by edge AI. This eliminates the need for bulky cameras and expensive processors within the unit, freeing up more space inside Arrive Points for packages.

“We can do a lot with a little,” Bievenour said.

In 2014, O’Toole envisioned a smart mailbox that could accept drone deliveries and beat giant delivery companies to the U.S. Patent Office to protect his invention. He secured that patent in 2017 and has been refining it ever since. The mailboxes, now called Arrive Points, offer a climate-assisted space for deliveries from any human or autonomous courier that is connected to a platform capable of interacting with IoT devices and issuing emergency alerts.

In addition to the basic design and temperature control element, Arrive AI has secured U.S. patents that cover drone delivery management and tethering, anti-theft mechanisms and intelligent chain-of-custody control. The company has 58 patents pending for its Autonomous Last Mile solution filed across 22 countries and has secured several trademarks. See details at https://www.arriveai.com/intellectual-property .

Epique Realty Honors Four with Scholarship Awards

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESS Newswire / August 22, 2025 / Epique Realty is proud to announce the winners of its first annual Epique Scholarship Program, an initiative designed to empower the next generation of leaders and difference-makers. After a rigorous review of essays submitted by high school students from across the nation, the selection committee was so moved by the caliber and powerful stories of the applicants that it expanded the program, awarding four scholarships instead of the originally planned three.

This decision reflects the core philosophy of the agent-first brokerage, which extends its culture of generosity beyond its business operations and deep into the community.

“Our mission is to build a thriving ecosystem where generosity creates opportunity for everyone,” said Janice Delcid, CFO and Co-Founder of Epique Realty. “Whether it’s providing world-class technology to our agents at no cost or investing in the dreams of these incredible students, our focus is the same. This program is a natural extension of our commitment to changing lives and building a brighter future.”

The 2025 Epique Scholarship recipients are a testament to resilience, passion, and purpose. Epique Realty is honored to announce the following winners:

• Kendyl Arts (Vanguard University): Kendyl has demonstrated extraordinary resilience and compassion in the face of immense family adversity. Her passion for giving back was forged while caring for sick family members, inspiring her to pursue a career in medicine while simultaneously founding mental health and anti-bullying clubs and coaching youth cheer.

• Madison Gafford (University of Tennessee Chattanooga): With a clear and passionate goal of becoming a pediatric nurse, Madison is dedicated to being a voice for children in healthcare. Her commitment is already in action through her extensive volunteer work with the Alzheimer’s Association, local food banks, and as a hospital volunteer on the pediatric oncology floor.

• Nyla Johnson (University of Southern California): As a first-generation college student, Nyla is pursuing architecture and real estate with a powerful vision for social impact and affordable design. She is an active leader on campus, serving in organizations like the National Organization of Minority Architecture Students (NOMAS) and the USC Helenes, the university’s oldest service organization.

• Drake Snyder (Metropolitan Community College): In a profoundly selfless application, Drake, a lineman-in-training who works 40-50 hours a week to support himself, asked that his scholarship be shared with his siblings. His request aims to support his brother’s university education and provide critical resources for his younger sister, who has severe learning disabilities, highlighting a remarkable dedication to his family’s future.

The Epique Scholarship is for financial support and is a commitment to empowering young people who are already making a significant impact. Epique Realty congratulates the winners and every student who applied and is honored to be a part of their incredible journeys.
