The food delivery giant Grubhub
Grubhub will presently offer campus partners the capability of establishing campus robots on-site for quicker, more economical deliveries to go along with prior abilities that have been customized for colleges and universities.
Signifying its entrance into the United States market, Yandex's delivery robots will use the business' autonomous driving technologies, especially navigation of pavements, pedestrian areas, and crosswalks, making the potential to get to places that are not reachable by cars. These types of technology help the robot to deal with delivery responsibilities without human assistance, offering effective automaton for last mile planning scenarios. "
Together with Yandex, we're changing the way college students experience food delivery," said Brian Madigan, vice president of corporate and campus partners at Grubhub, in a press statement. "We're excited to offer these cost-effective, scalable and quick food ordering and delivery capabilities to colleges and universities across the country that are looking to adapt to students' unique dining needs. While college campuses are notoriously difficult for cars to navigate, specifically as it relates to food delivery, Yandex robots easily access parts of campuses that vehicles cannot - effectively removing a major hurdle universities face when implementing new technology."
Grubhub collaborates with over 250 college campuses in order to provide students the capability of putting together meal plans into their Grubhub accounts and to attain access to restaurants that are both on- and off-campus for both pick-up and delivery.
Through the Yandex SDG collaboration, colleges will be able to provide this technology to their campuses and to change the typical dining experience. With Grubhub and Yandex's partnership, some of the highest in-class technology through delivery robots will be offered to college campuses. In turn, these particular assets will meet the one-of-a-kind demands of campus clientele.
