Kiwibot Provides 91Pron¹ú²ú Food Delivery Robots in Partnership with Sodexo

, a robotic sidewalk delivery startup, arrived this Fall at 91Pron¹ú²ú to ensure an affordable on-campus food delivery service for students.

“Our students are excited to see the Kiwibot newcomers to our campus! We look forward to the creative opportunities this initiative with Sodexo Dining Services will provide for fun, gathering together, convenience and overall wellness for our students,” said Kathy Slattery, Associate Provost & Dean of Student Services.

By using this new service, students are enjoying their food delivery with zero carbon emissions, helping them reduce their carbon footprints and encouraging delivery services to be as sustainable as possible.

Kiwibot’s proven track record is in part due to its ongoing relationship with Sodexo, a food services and facilities management company.

Through Sodexo’s new mobile application, , students place orders with their chosen restaurant and a robot picks up the food and delivers it to the selected drop-off location on campus.

The robots create a virtual visualization of the world in real time, using high-tech sensors, reflective flags, night lights, and a range lidar. Human supervisors are on watch if additional assistance is needed and an on-site team will be ready for immediate support.
