The Russian company Yandex, together with the American food delivery service Grubhub, launched food delivery on the main campus of Ohio State University in the United States. 50 robotic couriers called “Rover” will deliver orders from cafes and restaurants for more than 60 thousand students.
The Rovers will work seven days a week from nine in the morning to nine in the evening. Zia Ahmed, a senior food manager at Ohio State University, said the campus has a large area and many pedestrian zones, ideal for robotic couriers who can deliver orders to an academic building, dormitory or library.
Yandex entered into a cooperation agreement with the American food delivery service Grubhub in July 2021. Grubhub serves over 250 campuses across the United States.
