Serve Robotics is partnering with Uber Technologies to deploy its robots for Uber Eats in multiple markets across the United States, with up to 2,000 Serve Robots to be fielded. The company says that utilizing delivery robots has the potential to reduce traffic congestion and air pollution, while also improving the efficiency of last-mile delivery.

Serve says its robotic deliveries have grown over 30% month over month since deliveries began in 2022, with over 200 restaurants in Los Angeles now participating.

“We are thrilled to be growing our partnership with Uber,” said Dr. Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics. “This partnership is a major step toward mass commercialization of robotics for autonomous delivery, and it is a testament to the success of our partnership. We are excited to continue our work with Uber to bring this innovative technology to more cities across the country.”
