Robots are going to be normal in our streets. Specifically, delivery robots, which are already just part of the landscape in some European cities that have had them for 7 years already.
But now they’re coming to North America.
Summarizing my post at Forbes:
- Starship’s autonomous delivery robots have completed 9 million deliveries with a fleet of 2,700
- The robots deliver groceries, meals, and small goods using sensors, cameras, and machine learning
- The company is expanding beyond campuses into full city deployments
- Robot delivery offers a cheaper, scalable alternative to human couriers for last-mile logistics
- Starship aims to make sidewalk robot delivery a standard urban service
