Beginning in early March, five robots began delivering meals and drinks from select Union Food Market locations to more than 50 outdoor drop-off spots across campus.

The robots are part of a pilot program from 黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 Dining Services in partnership with GrubHub and Starship Technologies.

The robots contain locked, temperature-controlled compartments to prevent spills and ensure food and drinks remain at the desired temperature. Designed to act like pedestrians, they鈥檒l use radar, sensors and GPS to travel on campus sidewalks, detect obstacles and traverse crosswalks along Cross Campus Drive. Alarms, cameras and tracking devices will protect against theft and alert staff when they need support.
