If you live in Washington, D. C., or Redwood, Calif., you may have glimpsed a small, boxy robot rolling along
a local sidewalk, minding it’s own business, but attracting the attention of many a curious onlooker. The
autonomous machines were part of a pilot program last year by Starship Technologies focused on delivering meals
from local restaurants in dozens of cities around the world.
“Today, more than ever, people lead a busy and diverse life,” Lex Bayer, Starship’s CEO, said in a statement
online. “The hassle of needing to rearrange your life for a delivery will become a thing of the past. You don’t have
to switch your working from home day, reschedule meetings, visit a locker, drive to a post office or contact a
deliveryman all because of a missed delivery.”
The package delivery service is not available to everyone just yet. The company said it’s rolling out the service

company's app. Customers then create a “Starship Delivery Address,” a unique address inside a Starship facility,
instead of a residence, where they can have packages sent from places such as Amazon, com. Once a package is
