“We are excited to add another national merchant like Shake Shack to our platform, a partnership made possible through the relationship we have built with Uber Eats across tens of thousands of successful deliveries,” said Touraj Parang, President and COO of Serve Robotics. Parang also announced that Serve expects to deploy 2,000 robots across the United States by 2025. Los Angeles is not the first city where these sidewalk robots have been used for Uber deliveries. In April, Uber and Wayno announced their first robot delivery service in Phoenix, Arizona. Through the press release, the companies promised customers that the robots had been optimized for fast deliveries, avoiding obstacles in their GPS-planned routes, and that orders should arrive hot—or cold—and fresh. “And there’s no need to tip the robot!” states the document. Serve Robotics has shared a short video on X featuring the four-wheeled robot with a modern cart design to promote the new service in Los Angeles. “Serve is now on delivery for Shake Shack! Select Shake Shack customers in the Los Angeles area may receive their next Uber Eats order via Serve Robotics.” Los Angeles residents will be seeing multiple AI-powered independent technologies around the city as Waymo has also deployed self-driving vehicles in the city and recently got approval from regulators to use robotaxis in local freeways. 👉 Learn more: https://t.co/OYECUwmcAz pic.twitter.com/o44nTpZacP — Serve Robotics (@ServeRobotics) August 14, 2024
