Serve Robotics launches autonomous delivery in Chicago metro area

Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ: SERV) launched autonomous sidewalk delivery service in the Chicago metropolitan area, marking the company's first expansion into the Midwest. The service operates through a partnership with Uber Eats, the delivery platform of Uber Technologies Inc. (NYSE: UBER).

The Chicago launch covers 14 neighborhoods including Austin, Belmont Cragin, Dunning, East Garfield Park, Humboldt Park, Lakeview, Lincoln Park, Little Italy, Logan Square, Near North Side, Near West Side, Uptown, West Garfield Park and West Town. The service connects over 100 restaurants to hundreds of thousands of households in the area.

"Chicago is a city known for its food and big personality, and we're thrilled to add our robots into the mix," said Dr. Ali Kashani, CEO and co-founder of Serve Robotics. "Whether you're craving a Chicago-style dog, deep-dish pizza, or a late-night snack, Serve robots make delivery more reliable, sustainable, and a little more fun."

The Chicago expansion adds to Serve Robotics' existing operations in Los Angeles, Miami, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Atlanta. The company operates AI-powered delivery robots that travel on sidewalks to complete deliveries.

"Our ongoing partnership with Serve Robotics reflects our commitment to redefining the customer delivery experience," said Megan Jensen, Head of Autonomous Delivery Operations at Uber Eats.

Serve Robotics has a signed agreement to deploy up to 2,000 delivery robots on the Uber Eats platform across multiple U.S. markets by the end of 2025. The company was spun off from Uber in 2021 as an independent entity and has completed tens of thousands of deliveries for enterprise partners including Uber Eats and 7-Eleven.
