Expansion builds on the company’s launches in Los Angeles, Miami, and Dallas-Fort Worth as part of ongoing collaboration with the Uber Eats delivery platform.
Autonomous sidewalk delivery company Serve Robotics has announced the launch of its service in the Atlanta metro area.
This market expansion builds on the company’s launches in Los Angeles, Miami, and Dallas-Fort Worth as part of Serve’s ongoing collaboration with Uber Eats, the delivery platform of Uber Technologies.
The delivery robots have rolled out on the sidewalks of Midtown, Old Fourth Ward and Downtown Atlanta. They are integrated into the Uber Eats app, and customers who order from participating local favourites such as Rreal Tacos and Ponko Chicken may have their next meal delivered by a Serve robot. Serve’s national delivery partnership with Shake Shack will also extend to Atlanta.
“As one of the largest and fastest-growing markets in the Southeast, Atlanta is a strategic next step for our planned nationwide expansion,” said Dr Ali Kashani, CEO and co-founder of Serve Robotics. “We are pleased to be one of the first robotics companies to enter the market and bring our friendly approach to robotic delivery.”
Known as the “Silicon Peach,” Atlanta is a growing tech hub and a community driven by innovation. Atlanta is a largely car-dependent city, and Serve’s robots are expected to reduce traffic congestion, making last-mile deliveries more efficient and emission-free.
Serve has established constructive relationships with local stakeholders to ensure a seamless rollout. Serve’s growth will generate new employment opportunities in operations and maintenance and help stimulate the local economy.
“Today’s announcement with Serve Robotics marks our first entry with autonomous delivery in Atlanta,” said Megan Jensen, head of autonomous delivery operations at Uber. “We continue to drive innovation with a commitment to making food delivery as convenient as possible.”
“We are pleased to be one of the first robotics companies to enter the market and bring our friendly approach to robotic delivery”
The launch of Serve’s Atlanta operations represents another significant milestone on Serve’s path to deploying 2,000 AI-powered delivery robots across the US by the end of 2025. Additional US markets are expected to be announced in the coming months.
Serve Robotics develops advanced, AI-powered, low-emissions sidewalk delivery robots and was spun-off from Uber in 2021 as an independent company.
