Matternet Unveils M3 Autonomous Drone Delivery Platform for Rooftop Micro-Hubs

The next-generation system pairs a new aircraft, dock and drop-box portal so restaurants, retailers and hospitals can send packages without staff on site, with commercial service targeted for the second half of 2027.

Matternet unveiled M3, its next-generation autonomous drone delivery platform, on September 28, 2026. The Mountain View, California company, which began trading on the OTCQB under the ticker MTTN earlier this month, built M3 for instant delivery across food, retail, healthcare and industrial logistics. Under the design, a restaurant, retailer or hospital can run a dedicated delivery micro-hub on its roof with no operator on site. Instead, a sender places a bag or package in the M3 Portal and walks away, and the system handles every step through delivery.
