CNN —Uber Eats customers in Japan can soon have an autonomous robot deliver their food on the streets of Tokyo. Japan will be the first international market to have autonomous delivery available on the Uber Eats platform. Uber Eats is launching robot delivery services in Japan. Uber Eats and Cartken first partnered to launch autonomous robot delivery services in parts of Miami in 2022, and expanded robot delivery to Fairfax, Virginia, last year. “In the future, we will work with buildings and factory infrastructure, which is one of our strengths, so autonomous robots will be able to deliver inside various facilities.”

CNN —The next time you order a meal from Uber Eats, it may be delivered by a robot – at least if you live in Miami. Starting on Thursday, some Miami residents can order their Uber Eats takeout to be delivered via autonomous, sidewalk-trotting robots thanks to a new partnership between the ride-hailing company and robotics firm Cartken. The delivery robots can operate indoors as well as outdoors. Uber also recently partnered with Motional, a driverless technology company, to offer autonomous vehicles in Las Vegas. The company’s partnership with Uber marks its first with an on-demand delivery app outside of college campuses.
