Insights

Serve Robotics' third-generation delivery robot represents a significant leap in autonomous delivery technology. The new model boasts impressive improvements in several key areas:

  • Speed and range doubled
  • 6 more operational hours daily
  • 5x more computing power
  • 15% larger cargo capacity
  • 40% faster emergency braking
  • 50% reduction in manufacturing costs

These advancements position Serve to scale nationally and potentially disrupt the last-mile delivery market. The planned deployment of 2,000 units in 2025 through Uber Eats is substantial and could significantly impact the company's revenue and market share. However, investors should consider the capital expenditure required for this expansion and potential regulatory challenges in new markets. The partnership with Magna International for manufacturing suggests a robust supply chain, which is important for scaling operations efficiently.

The autonomous delivery market is rapidly evolving and Serve's latest robot positions the company as a strong contender. Key market implications include:

  • Potential for reduced delivery costs, benefiting both Serve and partners like Uber Eats
  • Increased competitiveness against human couriers and other robotic delivery services
  • Expansion into new markets, indicating growing acceptance of autonomous delivery

The 50% reduction in manufacturing costs is particularly significant, as it could accelerate the path to profitability. Investors should watch for metrics on delivery efficiency, customer satisfaction and regulatory approvals in new markets. The company's ability to execute its 2025 deployment plan will be important in assessing its long-term potential. While the technology is promising, the success of autonomous delivery at scale remains unproven, presenting both opportunity and risk for investors.

  • Faster, smarter delivery robots will support Serve’s scaling across the U.S.
  • Manufacturing cost halved, while advancing safety, autonomy, performance and speed
  • New robots have entered manufacturing and are on track for deployment in 2025

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Serve Robotics Inc. ("Serve") (Nasdaq: SERV), a leading autonomous sidewalk delivery company, today unveiled its third-generation autonomous delivery robot. The new model boasts significantly enhanced capabilities, achieved at substantially reduced manufacturing cost. The third-generation robot has entered manufacturing and 2,000 new units are on track to be deployed in 2025 on the Uber Eats platform across multiple U.S. markets.

Serve’s third-generation robots are designed to carry more goods, enable more deliveries, and further reduce the cost of delivery. They can move roughly twice as fast, travel approximately twice as far on a single charge, and spend 6 more hours in the field each day. Serve robots’ intelligence and autonomy are significantly advanced by the addition of Nvidia’s Jetson Orin module with 5x more on-board computing power, Ouster’s new REV7 digital lidar, and major upgrades to the robots’ sensor suite. These hardware advancements enable third-generation robots to deploy Serve’s newest and most powerful AI model architecture, embed new AI capabilities, and execute autonomous navigation decisions faster.

The third-generation robots also enjoy an expanded cargo bin that holds four large 16-inch pizzas or 15% more volume than the previous robots. Their new drivetrain is equipped with suspension to drive smoother and faster while protecting food quality, and their improved water resistance expands the robots’ ability to maneuver confidently in a wider range of weather conditions.

Importantly, these hardware and software enhancements combine to extend Serve’s commitment to safety on the sidewalk. In addition to market-leading safety capabilities, including fail-safe mechanical braking and autonomous collision avoidance, the third-generation robots introduce enhanced emergency braking — stopping 40% more quickly.

"Producing a cutting-edge robot that can drive faster and further while running 5 times more AI and slashing costs by half is a true engineering feat. I am proud of what our team has accomplished with our third-generation robot, which represents the culmination of years of relentless effort. Our new robot puts Serve significantly down the cost curve and ahead of the competition as we roll out one of the largest autonomous fleets in the country in the coming months,” said Dr. Ali Kashani, CEO and co-founder of Serve Robotics.

“We are excited to have begun mass manufacturing of our third-generation robot in collaboration with Magna International. By utilizing a global supply chain and final assembly in North America, we have ensured exceptional quality and performance. Our rigorous engineering, validation, and testing processes have confirmed that this is the most rugged and high-performing robot we’ve ever created. Our cutting-edge robots will wheel into new cities and neighborhoods in 2025 and we can’t wait for users to experience their delivery capabilities first-hand,” said Euan Abraham, Chief Hardware & Manufacturing Officer of Serve Robotics.

In the coming months, Serve will deploy its newest robots across Los Angeles and in one new metro market.
