Serve Robotics is proposing a pilot project for autonomous food delivery robots in North Vancouver, following successful operations in U.S. markets. The robots will deliver food within a 2.5-kilometer radius at speeds of 4 to 6 km/h.

The project aligns with 2023 B.C. legislation allowing municipalities to regulate delivery robots. City staff are assessing transportation benefits and risks, with a proposal for a pilot expected to be presented to the council in spring 2024. Serve Robotics has engaged with local officials and aims to partner with existing delivery apps like Uber Eats or DoorDash.
