Serve Robotics Reaches 2,000-Robot Milestone, Scaling Nation’s Largest Sidewalk Fleet

• Serve Robotics has deployed over 2,000 autonomous delivery robots, expanding its fleet twentyfold in 2025.
• The company now operates in seven major U.S. cities, supported by partnerships with Uber Eats, DoorDash, and national retailers.

Serve Robotics has deployed over 2,000 autonomous delivery robots, expanding its fleet twentyfold in 2025. The company says this meets its rollout goal for the year and claims this milestone makes it the largest sidewalk delivery fleet in the U.S.

“As we continue to expand our fleet size, we are also expanding use cases for our technology. The market opportunity for autonomous and electric sidewalk robot delivery is huge and right now, we're only seeing the tip of the iceberg,” said Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics, in a press release. “Groceries, convenience, small parcels, and return logistics are all a natural fit. Anywhere you find frequent, short-distance deliveries, autonomous technology can create real value. Over the next five years, we expect Serve robots to become a ubiquitous part of local logistics, powering a wide range of delivery types as cities rethink how goods move.”

Serve Robotics now operates in seven cities across the U.S., including operations in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, and Alexandria. In a news release, Serve credited its growth to partnerships with restaurant brands, retailers, and delivery platforms like Uber Eats and DoorDash. The company says additional cities are planned in early 2026.

Serve's robots operate with Level 4 autonomy and a 99.8% delivery completion rate, according to the company. This year, the company also introduced its Gen 3 robot in 2025 to support higher-volume operations, expanded its service zones in every city where it operates, and launched in 110 high-density neighborhoods across the U.S.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

Hitting 2,000 active units sets a new bar for what’s operationally possible with sidewalk delivery robots which are becoming commonplace as a delivery method in the U.S.
