Starting today, Uber Eats customers in Fairfax, Virginia can get their next meal delivered by a robot. In an expansion of the company\u2019s existing partnership with Cartken<\/ins><\/a>, Uber has begun offering automated deliveries in the city\u2019s Mosaic District<\/a>. With today\u2019s announcement, a select number of the more than 40 restaurants in the area have begun transporting their food aboard Cartken\u2019s six-wheeled robots. Among the restaurants participating in the pilot include Our Mom Eugenia, Pupatella and RASA.<\/p>\n

Uber has been testing autonomous delivery robots in a handful of markets throughout the US. Last May, the company launched two pilots<\/ins><\/a> in Los Angeles with the help of Motional and Serve Robotics. More recently, Uber signed a 10-year deal with Nuro<\/ins><\/a> to use the company\u2019s vans for autonomous deliveries in California and Texas. Cartken, it should be noted, also works with Grubhub to deliver food on college campuses<\/ins><\/a>. The firm\u2019s robot uses NVIDIA\u2019s Jetson tech<\/ins><\/a>, alongside cameras and sensors, to navigate streets and sidewalks. They can travel at up to six miles per hour and carry about two full paper grocery bags of cargo to their destination.<\/p>\n
