Serve Robotics has launched the AV Delivery Developer Portal, a public API that lets developers, businesses, hobbyists and AI assistants programmatically call its sidewalk delivery robots. A sandbox environment lets anyone build and test applications before running them with live robots.
"You shouldn't have to start a robotics company to build something useful with robots," said co-founder and chief executive Ali Kashani. "The people who live and work there will have needs we haven't thought of. Opening our fleet gives us an opportunity to serve those needs."
Serve, spun out of Uber in 2021 and based in Redwood City, California, says it has deployed more than 2,000 robots across the US and Australia, reaching about 3 million people and delivering for more than 4,000 restaurants. Earlier this year it acquired hospital service robot provider Diligent Robotics.
