Serve Robotics Launches Developer Portal to Open Autonomous Fleet to Third Parties
Serve Robotics is launching the AV Delivery Developer Portal, an initiative designed to allow third-party software engineers, small businesses, and AI agents to access its fleet of 2,000 sidewalk delivery robots. By providing direct API access, the company aims to bypass the high commission fees typically charged by major food delivery platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash. The platform enables diverse use cases beyond food delivery, including intra-office shuttles, parts transport for repair shops, and peer-to-peer exchanges. CEO Ali Kashani noted that this move diversifies revenue streams by utilizing robots during off-peak hours between lunch and dinner rushes, effectively turning the fleet into an open marketplace.
