美国大学校园机器人送餐服务火爆！花1.99美元就能送至全校
随着外卖送货机器人技术不断发展，不少美国公司都在本科校园中推出机器人外卖服务，为校园内的学生及教职员派送食物及饮品。当中，Starship Technologies亦于维珍尼亚州的佐治梅森本科（George Mason University）中投入服务，为40,000名学生及教职员外卖食物。
首批支持有关服务的餐厅包括Starbucks、Blaze Pizza及Dunkin'，当用户透过应用程序下单购物后，机器人就会将在数分钟内，将下单的食物及饮品送到目的地。无论路程多远，收费划一为1.99美元。
Starship机器人可以运载重达20磅的食物，官方更号称每部机器人足以同时运送3份订单，更可以穿过路上的不同障碍，同时于雨天及下雪等恶劣天气中运作。机器人依赖身上的多个感应器及机械视角，可自动探测并绕过障碍物。
官方表示，他们早在汐谷已开始使用机器人提供送餐服务。他们的机器人已经在25,000次旅程中走过15万英里（约24万km）的路程。事实上，这类机器人外卖服务早已在美国部分本科校园中推出。最近Kiwibot在加州大学校园中更一度起火。
