Starship Technologies delivery robots roll-out at University of Idaho
Starship Technologies has expanded its robot delivery service to the University of Idaho.
Students and employees on the Moscow campus can get food from several Idaho Eats locations, including Qdoba, True Burger, Einstein Bros. Bagels and Cravings by Joe, via Starship’s fleet of 15 autonomous food delivery robots.
“We’re excited to bring this service to a wide array of our dining options.” says Cami McClure, Assistant Vice President for Auxiliary Services.
“The university community is eager for on-campus dining delivery and now, with Starship Technologies, we are able to offer a fun, fast and friendly way to deliver.”
U of I is the first university in Idaho to introduce robot food delivery service.
Starship is also providing services to campuses across the US, including UT Dallas, University of Houston, University of Nevada, Reno and Bowling Green State University.
“We are very pleased to expand our services to Idaho,” says Ryan Tuohy, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Sales at Starship Technologies.
“We think the entire campus community will love seeing the robots roaming around campus and appreciate the convenience of on-demand deliveries, whether that means skipping long lines, sleeping in or getting deliveries for late night studies.”
Starship plans to hire students to work with its fleet.
Mo Alhabashneh, Idaho Eats Resident District Manager, comments: “This innovative technology will enhance our level of service and make our dining options readily available to all Vandals wherever they find themselves on campus.”
