Serve Robotics Inc. /de/
A maker of autonomous sidewalk delivery robots that carry food and retail goods over short distances in cities. The company began in 2017 as a robotics project inside the delivery app Postmates, and became an independent company in 2021 after Uber bought Postmates. Its name reflects its mission to "serve" people — a mission born from the observation that it's silly to use a two-thousand-pound car to deliver a single burrito.
