About
Starship Technologies is a world leader in autonomous last-mile delivery, deploying a fleet of smart robots that operate at Level 4 autonomy across campuses, urban areas, and industrial facilities. Each robot is 99% autonomous, learning and improving with every journey through a combination of radars, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and advanced machine learning algorithms. With over 9 million deliveries completed, 12 million miles driven, and operations spanning 270+ locations globally, Starship has proven its technology at scale. The platform integrates seamlessly with university campus dining systems, major grocery retail chains, popular delivery apps, and industrial supply chains to provide cost-effective, sustainable alternatives to traditional courier services. For universities, Starship robots bring food, groceries, and supplies directly to students and faculty. Grocery retailers leverage the fleet for hyper-local, efficient delivery. Delivery app partners benefit from increased order volume and lower acquisition costs. Industrial sites use robots for safe, timely transport of spare parts, mail, and samples—reducing downtime and improving employee productivity. The platform also offers unique advertising opportunities through robot wrapping, digital messaging, and product sampling, enabling brands to reach key audiences in novel ways. Backed by major partnerships with Uber Eats, Just Eat, foodora, and leading grocery chains, Starship is actively expanding its autonomous delivery network across the US and Europe.
