Serve Robotics Starts Gold Coast Robot Delivery

Serve Robotics designs and operates Level 4 autonomous sidewalk delivery robots for last-mile logistics, integrated with Uber Eats and DoorDash and serving 4,500+ merchants and 25+ hospital systems across 44 U.S. cities, according to company records.

The Australian rollout begins in a Gold Coast neighborhood, where DoorDash customers can opt in for robot delivery from participating restaurants in the app. Serve Robotics said it would add more local restaurants to the service in the coming weeks.

Serve Robotics has set up an operations depot at Griffith University for robot stationing, charging, dispatch and maintenance. "This is the first time we've taken Serve beyond the US, and the Gold Coast is the right place to start. It has the walkable neighbourhoods this technology is built for," CEO Ali Kashani said.

Serve Robotics has partnered with DoorDash in the U.S. since 2025. Earlier this year, Serve Robotics also tapped Grubhub, after its years-long tie-up with Uber Eats fell through. Serve Robotics has a fleet of over 2,000 delivery robots serving over 40 cities across the U.S.
