February 3, 2025

COLUMBUS, OH—Avride and Grubhub recently announced autonomous robot deliveries are now available at Ohio State University. The first deployment includes 100 next-generation robots at Ohio State, designed to handle high-volume deliveries on a large campus. Built with Avride’s expertise in autonomous technology, these robots operate seamlessly in various weather conditions, including rain and snow. They feature spacious compartments capable of transporting anything from a quick snack between classes to a full meal for a group gathering. Additionally, the robots' customizable LED panels allow campuses to incorporate unique branding and animations, making them a familiar and engaging presence for students.

“Our robots have already proven their value in campus environments, delivering both convenience and a fun experience for students,” said Dmitry Polishchuk, CEO of Avride. “We’re excited to expand our partnership with Grubhub and anticipate hundreds of our robots serving campuses by 2025.”

Rob DelaCruz, vice president and general manager of Grubhub Campus, added, “Working with Avride strengthens our commitment to integrating innovative delivery solutions for our campus partners. Students love the ease of robot delivery, and we’re excited to continue offering campuses a variety of options tailored to their needs.”
