Serve Robotics, a developer of sidewalk delivery robots, has announced a partnership with Grubhub to offer robotic deliveries in Chicago, Los Angeles, and Alexandria, Virginia through more than 100 participating merchants. The company is expanding its operations into new markets and launching new products including microdepots for robot staging and maintenance, a countertop device called Beacon that connects restaurants to robots, and an advertising product that integrates conversational AI into robot deliveries. Serve's revenue grew significantly year-over-year, with advertising and recurring revenue making up a substantial portion of its earnings, though the company faced a setback when its original parent company Uber sold off its remaining stake. The partnership with Grubhub represents continued growth for the autonomous delivery sector as these robots become integrated into established food delivery platforms.
