Robots will now deliver food to students on the University of Minnesota campus

The University of Minnesota has introduced a new food delivery service using robots, operated by Starship Technologies.

These robots deliver from popular campus spots like Panda Express and Starbucks for a small fee. Students and staff can order food via the Starship app and track the robot’s location in real-time.

Equipped with sensors, cameras, and GPS, the robots can navigate obstacles and work in various weather conditions, CBS News has reported.

The program, part of a one-year pilot approved by the Minneapolis City Council, aims to improve campus food accessibility, especially in areas with limited options.
