Delivery & Last Mile
Sidewalk robot delivery
Small wheeled robots delivering food, groceries and parcels on campuses and neighborhoods.
People ask for this as: “delivery robot”, “Starship robot”, “robot food delivery”
How it works
Robots used
- Sidewalk Delivery Robot
Ways to buy it
- Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
- Raas — a subscription covering robot, software and support.
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- Availability is limited to specific service areas — check coverage first.
- Ask about per-delivery pricing versus monthly fleet fees.

What to specify and ask
Put these in your request and you'll get a real price instead of "it depends":
- Delivery radius and street conditions
- Merchants or kitchens to serve
- Pickup and drop-off areas
- Package weight and size
- Daily volume
- Delivery time windows
- Temperature requirements
- Geography (campus, city, rural)
Rules and regulation
Sidewalk robots are regulated by state/municipal rules; drone delivery needs aviation approvals (FAA Part 135 / BVLOS waivers, EASA SORA).
General information, not legal advice. Rules change; ask the operator which permits they hold and verify them.
