A partnership between George Mason University and two companies, Sodexo and Starship Technologies has developed a new home-based food and drink delivery service to students on campus based on autonomous robots.

The demand for food at home is already worth billions of dollars: two US companies, Postmates and DoorDash, are already worth 2 billion and 7 billion respectively.

A confined university area is the best possible test platform: the results prove it, with over 10.000 deliveries already made with a 0% margin of error.
