Starship food delivery robots persevere through winter
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is one of 20 schools across the country with food-delivering robots rolling around its campus. Formally called Starships, the six-wheelers with an orange flag waving above began navigating around campus in 2019 to deliver food right to students' dorms. Students can use the Starship app connected with the university’s dining service to get freshly-made meals delivered straight to them in times of inclement weather, in the middle of studying or when feeling especially lazy.
