The delivery robot is an electric vehicle that looks vaguely like a pram with its four wheels. Serve Robotics says it has partnered with fast food chain Shake Shack to expand its “autonomous sidewalk delivery,” allowing “select Shake Shack customers in the Los Angeles area may receive their next order via a Serve robot.”

According to Serve Robotics, the partnership is another step in the expansion of autonomous Serve deliveries via Uber Eats. The beginnings of this type of delivery date back to 2022. The initiators cite the advantages of efficient route planning, greater safety in food transport and lower costs.

The transport robot finds its way thanks to its driving systems: “Equipped with advanced GPS technology and artificial intelligence (AI), the robots safely and swiftly navigate urban environments, avoiding obstacles and offering a smooth delivery experience,” Fastned writes.

Touraj Parang, President and COO of Serve Robotics, is excited to add another national distributor like Shake Shack to the platform: “Today’s announcement highlights the value of Serve’s world-class strategic partnerships as we work to expand our geographic footprint and deploy 2,000 robots across the U.S. in 2025.”
