Serve Robotics integrates DriveU.auto connectivity platform to scale thousands of delivery robots — Retail Technology Innovation Hub

DriveU.auto, a provider of connectivity platforms for autonomous vehicles, and Serve Robotics, a provider of autonomous delivery robots, have announced the deployment of the former’s connectivity platform on the latter’s commercially deployed robotic fleet. 

Serve says it will leverage DriveU’s platform to enhance the performance of remote monitoring of its autonomous delivery robots, adding to the suite of tools Serve utilises as it works to deploy up to 2,000 robots on the Uber Eats platform.

Serve evaluated DriveU alongside competitive offerings and determined that its platform provides reliable, low latency and uninterrupted connectivity that allows robots to share real-time telemetrics, access cloud computing, and enable remote supervision in edge cases.

It also values DriveU’s native support of the Nvidia Jetson platform, which provides hardware accelerated video encoding and decoding, reduces network bandwidth and latency, and results in better video quality.
