Cartken’s AI-powered sidewalk robots will begin
operating in Fairfax, Virginia
Building on a successful pilot of autonomous deliveries in
Miami, Florida, Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: UBER) and Cartken,
an AI-powered robotics company, today announced an expansion of
their partnership to include food deliveries via automated robots
in Fairfax, Virginia. Uber Eats consumers at Mosaic District will
have the opportunity to have orders delivered by Cartken’s
self-driving robot.
Starting today, Uber and Cartken will begin operating with
select merchants at Mosaic District, a shopping and dining district
owned and operated by EDENS. At launch, merchants like Our Mom
Eugenia, Pupatella, and RASA, will participate in the program.
“Our team at Cartken is excited to further partner with Uber
Eats and expand our reach to serve the Fairfax community," shared
Anjali Jindal Naik, Co-Founder and COO at Cartken. "Cartken is at
an inflection point, where we are rapidly bringing our AI, computer
vision, and lidar-less autonomous robots to more places, like
Mosaic District, in partnership with Uber Eats.”
Uber’s expanded partnership with Cartken marks another milestone
in both companies’ mission to use autonomous technology to unlock
greater innovation for consumers and merchant partners in Fairfax
and beyond.
”Alongside our partners at Cartken, we’re thrilled to work with
Mosaic’s outstanding merchants to serve such a vibrant community of
diners, shoppers, and residents,” said Noah Zych, Head of
Autonomous Mobility and Delivery at Uber. “With our shared passion
for innovative urban design, sustainability, and technology, we
believe that robot delivery with Uber Eats is a great fit for
Fairfax consumers looking for a fun and convenient way to grab
their next meal.”
Mosaic is home to more than 40 thriving restaurants, providing
Uber and Cartken the opportunity to serve a diverse group of
merchants and delight more eaters as the program grows.
“We are excited to partner with Uber Eats and Cartken to bring
cutting-edge technology to our community, and confident this
innovative service will elevate visitor experience and customer
engagement at Mosaic,” said Greg Dercach, Vice President, Property
Management for EDENS.
