Avride and Grubhub are bringing autonomous robot delivery to colleges across the country. Currently available at The Ohio State University, students at Grubhub partnered campuses can order meals, snacks and convenience items for delivery via robot.

The first fleet of 100 robots are currently active on The Ohio State University’s campus,and feature next-generation models designed to handle high volumes of deliveries that a campus as large as The Ohio State University is expected to see. With advanced technology drawn from Avride’s expertise in autonomous vehicles, Avride’s robots are intelligent and reliable—even in challenging conditions like rain or snow. They boast a spacious compartment that can handle anything from a quick snack between classes to an assortment of pizzas and drinks for a get together with friends. The robots also feature customizable LED panels with animated designs, which can be tailored to reflect the unique identity of each campus, making them a fun and familiar presence for students.

“Our robots have already proven their value in campus environments, delivering convenience and delight to students,” said Dmitry Polishchuk, CEO of Avride. “We’re thrilled to be working with Grubhub to scale this success and expect to see hundreds of our robots serving campuses already in 2025.”

“Working with Avride deepens our commitment to allow our campus partners to seamlessly integrate innovative delivery experiences into their dining operations,” said Rob DelaCruz, vice president and general manager of Grubhub Campus. “Students love the convenience of robot delivery, and we’re excited to continue offering our campus partners a variety of delivery options to best meet their unique needs.”

Avride is the latest autonomous delivery provider Grubhub offers its campus partners. Since first offering robot delivery in 2021, hundreds of thousands of Grubhub orders have been delivered via robots across dozens of schools. In addition to robot delivery, Grubhub Campus Dining offers a range of solutions to meet the unique needs of its campus partners, including sustainable reusable packaging and advanced retail technology. In total, Grubhub Campus Dining partners with more than 360 universities and serves more than four and a half million students.
