Grubhub campus partnerships senior director Adam Herbert said: “Robot delivery solves the unique challenges of accessing hard-to-reach areas that come from operating on a college campus.

“With Starship’s robots, students can enjoy a fun, new way to order their favourite meals right to their door—whether that be the library, their dorm, academic hall, or another campus building.

“Offering this type of delivery further improves the Grubhub dining experience as we continue to provide innovative solutions for students and our campus partners.”
