Robots Will Roam the University of Houston Campus Delivering Snacks | Eater Houston

"A fleet of 30 Starship autonomous delivery robots will roam the campus delivering snacks and groceries to students, faculty, and staff; UH’s 53,000 students can hit a button on a phone app and a robot will greet them carrying Panda Express. The program, run in partnership with Chartwells Higher Education, makes UH the first institution of higher education in Texas to offer robotic food deliveries on campus, and is billed as expanding hours and convenience without costing the university anything to purchase the technology because customers pay for the service. There is a $1.99 delivery fee and customers can track the robots’ journey as they traverse sidewalks and maneuver around obstacles." - Adele Chapin
