Delivery drivers
Late last month, Sodexo partnered with a tech company to launch what it claims is the first robot delivery fleet operating in conjunction with campus meal plans. The service, which debuted at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., delivers food and drinks to students across campus in about 15 minutes. Students place orders via an app and can watch the robots’ journey to them in real time. Each delivery commands a $1.99 fee, Sodexo says.
The fleet of over 25 robots will deliver from an on-campus grocery store as well as Blaze Pizza, Dunkin’ and Starbucks, with other participants to be announced down the road.
