Classes started at the University of Kentucky this week; joining the hoards of students crisscrossing campus are…robots? On Monday, Starship Technologies rolled out its fleet of 30 food-delivery robots. The machines ferry items from eateries like Starbucks, Subway, and Panda Express to students and staff across campus. UK President Eli Capilouto ordered coffee from one this morning to show how it works.
To use the food-delivery robots, all you do is open the Starship app on your phone, choose what you want, and drop a pin. You can follow your delivery on a map, and when the robot arrives, unlock it through the app to retrieve your items.
