Starship Technologies

Starship Technologies provides autonomous robot delivery services that help make food and package deliveries faster, easier and more environmentally friendly. Thousands of Starship robots are in operation around the world every day, offering a low-cost and environmentally friendly option for last-mile delivery.

The main advantage of Starship is a delivery-as-a-service model for business partners. Stores and restaurants can easily add robots to their delivery fleets, and businesses can offer customers low-cost and environmentally friendly delivery options that save them time and reduce their carbon footprint.

Here are some of the key features of Starship robots:

• Autonomy: With a combination of sensors and 12 cameras, the robots navigate around obstacles and pedestrians.
• Battery-Powered: Long-lasting batteries power the robots for an entire day of deliveries before needing to be recharged.
• Secure Delivery: GPS tracking, alarms and locked containers protect packages during transport.
• Capacity: Robots can carry up to three bags of groceries or other items.

Starship offers its service through its own food delivery mobile app and through direct partnerships with retailers and restaurants. The app, available for iOS and Android devices, lets customers track orders and see when they'll be delivered.

Starship operates in several parts of the United States, the United Kingdom, Finland and Estonia, and several university campuses also use its service. The company's battery-powered robots are designed to reduce emissions and improve the environmental performance of last-mile delivery.

Pricing details aren't disclosed, but the company's emphasis on cost-effectiveness and energy efficiency suggests it's competitive with other options for businesses that want to add autonomous delivery. Starship's robots can bring a bit of novelty and fun to customers, too, which is one reason businesses might want to add them to their operations.
