Robots with bright orange flags will soon roam Oregon State University’s more than 500-acre campus in Corvallis.
The fleet of 20 delivery robots will bring food to students, staff, and faculty members, carrying up to 20 pounds of grub per trip.
The university had been planning to use the robots long before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to university officials. Representatives from Starship Technologies, the company that produces the robots, were on campus when it first shut down due to coronavirus. The pandemic delayed negotiations but ultimately provided another reason to bring the service to campus.
