This service utilizes autonomous robots for the last-mile delivery of food and packages. For example, in February 2023, the University of Notre Dame, a US-based university, in collaboration with Grubhub (an online food delivery app) and Starship Technologies (an Estonian company developing autonomous delivery vehicles), launched robot delivery on its campus to serve 17,000 students, faculty, and staff. Users can open the Grubhub app, find restaurants that ‘Offer Robot Delivery,’ and select their preferred delivery spot. They are able to follow the robot’s path on an interactive map. Upon the robot’s arrival, users receive a notification to meet it and unlock it through the app. Each robot has the capacity to carry contents roughly equivalent to three shopping bags.
