Delivery giant Uber Eats and Serve Robotics recently officially announced that they will launch a robot food delivery service in major cities in the United States starting in 2026.
The company’s first robot, Serve Robotics, will be deployed in the U.S. by 2026.
Serve Robotics says the four-wheeled robot uses AI technology for path planning, has a range of about 40 kilometers and can carry goods weighing up to 23 kg. In addition, the company’s robots can deliver dozens of orders a day.
The company’s main goal is to provide a more efficient way to deliver food to customers.
Uber says that consumers who place orders through Uber Eats will be offered the option of having their food delivered by a robot. The robot will deliver the food to the designated location and then the customer will need to enter a code to pick up the food, thus ensuring that the food is delivered safely to the customer.
The company’s main goal is to provide a more efficient way to deliver food to customers.
The company’s goal is to become a zero-carbon delivery platform by 2040, and robotic delivery is an important part of that.
Serve Robotics, which was formerly the delivery robot program of food delivery service Postmates, received a $10 million investment from Nvidia in March 2022 (currently about RMB 71 million.) Serve has been in the robot delivery business since last year. Serve has been growing at a rate of more than 30 percent per month since it launched last year, and now has more than 200 restaurants in the Los Angeles area as its customers.
Uber said its partnership with Serve Robotics will expand to more cities in 2026, including San Jose, California, Dallas, Texas and Vancouver, Canada, with plans to deploy up to 2,000 delivery robots.
