Robot Delivery Service on Campus

Rovers offer autonomous food delivery to Ohio State campus The Ohio State University is rolling out a new autonomous food delivery service that will allow students, faculty and staff to order and receive food from campus cafes and restaurants. When the program goes live, more than 50 picnic-cooler-sized rovers will roll across campus to deliver food and drinks to the community. The program is meant to be intuitive. Customers will use the same GrubHub app they currently use to order food. When they place their order, they will select a delivery option and will be able to track the rover through the app. Deliveries will be made to a designated spot at each location. For now, locations include all campus residence halls, Bricker Hall and Thompson Library. The delivery area is bounded by Lane Avenue, High Street, 9th Avenue and Cannon Drive. Food will be delivered by Curl Market, Connecting Grounds, 12th Avenue Bread Company and Mirror Lake Eatery to start. We are working on captioning our videos as soon as possible.
