Serve Robotics opens its delivery robot fleet to outside developers

At a glance

Serve Robotics has opened its delivery robots to anyone through a new developer portal. Developers, businesses, and AI assistants can use code to request robot deliveries. Users can also test their apps in a virtual sandbox before using real robots.

Key points

1. 1

   Outside developers can call the delivery robots through a public API, a connection that lets programs talk to each other.

2. 2

   A sandbox, a virtual test environment without real robots, lets developers build and test apps first.

3. 3

   Using live robots requires Serve's approval, and deliveries are limited to its service areas, operating hours, and items that fit in the robot's cargo space.

Why it matters

People who do not build robots themselves can now use them, which could help robot delivery spread to more places.
