Sumario:The integration of urban services with robotic technology in the public space of cities requires an indepth analysis of both the characteristics of the technological system and the existing urban structure. The proposal of this work, based on the methodology of the case study, proposes a process to develop the research, and selects the case study of last mile distribution services with the autonomous robotic platform ONA. Throughout the process, a theoretical analysis is proposed, to which data, empirical evidence and rounds of discussion between professionals in urban planning, robotics, architecture and engineering, as well as end users and citizens, are added, seeking to reach a consensus on the characteristics and requirements of the technology that must be integrated and the changes that must be made in the urban public space, both in its planning and design. The RUS (Robotic Urban Services) Template, incorporating the characteristics of a specific urban robotic service and the list of urban aspects to consider, is used as a guide of the opportunities and the constraints detected for the integration.
