what happened
Serve Robotics said on Wednesday that it is rolling out its sidewalk robot delivery service in Australia. It is the company's first market outside the US, and it plans to invest about $500,000 in the region over the next year.
The launch is a partnership with food delivery platform DoorDash and starts in one Gold Coast neighborhood. DoorDash customers there can opt in to robot delivery from participating restaurants in the app. Serve has also set up an operations depot at Griffith University for robot stationing, charging, dispatch and maintenance. CEO Ali Kashani said the Gold Coast was chosen because its walkable neighbourhoods suit the technology.
The company said more local restaurants will be added in the coming weeks. Serve operates a fleet of over 2,000 delivery robots in more than 40 US cities.
why it matters
The story mainly concerns Serve Robotics and its expansion beyond the US. The investment is small, so the market impact is limited, but it marks the company's first step into international markets.
