The future is here!
Say hello to the newest members of Bridgewater State University… Starship Delivery Robots!
Starship Technologies is building a fleet of autonomous personal delivery devices designed to transform the “last mile” of delivery, making campus and local deliveries more convenient, environmentally efficient, and less expensive.
Starship’s Robots:
- Travel safely on sidewalks, delivering parcels, groceries and food to customers in 15-60 minutes
- Are far cheaper, more efficient and use less energy than current delivery options
- Permit customers to request deliveries when convenient to them, and track the Robots' progress using their mobile phone in real time
- Can carry the equivalent of 3 bags of groceries
- Have an optimal delivery range of 2-4 miles
- Are locked and secure during transport. The lid is opened using the customer’s mobile app
- Operate autonomously up to 99% of the time. However, a remote human operator can assume control at any time
- Are electrically powered and emit zero C02
- Use proprietary mapping, navigation and obstacle avoidance technology
- Operate from specially built hubs or from local businesses
- Are low mass (approximately 65 lbs. without cargo) and slow speed (4 mph)
- Can communicate with people using inbuilt speakers and microphones
- Starship Technologies’ Robots have now travelled over 1,000,000 miles in 20 countries and over 100 cities, encountering more than 15 million people
