As the world's leading autonomous robotic delivery provider, one of our core missions is to make people's lives easier and more convenient.We passionately believe in the power of technology and innovation to positively impact people's lives and communities. But we also know that accessibility and the needs of people with disabilities are too often overlooked in technology development.We're leading the charge in a completely new industry, so we know we won't get everything right on the first try. But at Starship, a true two-way engagement around accessibility and accessibility needs is embedded in what we do, and we're committed to…
Realizing a greener futureThis Earth Day, we encourage everyone to think about their impact on the environment. At Starship Technologies, we're proud to be at the forefront of sustainable last-mile delivery, pioneering battery-powered robotic services that are good for business and good for the planet.Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our service areas around the world, reducing the number of cars and delivery vans traveling to and from urban supermarkets and providing choice for U.S. students. This has a significant impact on reducing CO2 emissions. Choose battery-powered robot delivery over traditional food delivery methods.To put our efforts in perspective,…
It's another exciting day here at Starship. Our robot has completed a new record. Mileage 10 million km!To put into perspective the hard work accomplished by our busy bots, 10 million kilometers is the equivalent of over 12 round trips by car per month. No other autonomous delivery service has achieved this and we are extremely proud of our team for achieving this feat. This milestone distance is further than any other company in the industry and more than six times his 1 million miles recently announced by international self-driving car developers Waymo and Cruise.But what really sets us apart…
Author: Rhys WiersallIn honor of today's International Women's Day, we've compiled a list of powerful quotes from starship women who have made an impact in our company and beyond. These quotes remind us of the strength, resilience, and wisdom of women throughout history and inspire all of us here at Starship to continue fighting for a more just and equitable world.Despite significant advances in recent years, women remain underrepresented in the technology and startup industries. According to a World Bank report, less than one-third of the global technology workforce is made up of women, and the number is even lower…
Black innovators have a long and extensive history of making significant contributions to advances in the fields of AI, robotics, and technology. Despite facing obstacles such as discrimination and limited access to resources, these pioneers have played an important role in shaping the world today. Here, we'd like to take a closer look at some of the key contributors who have played key roles in taking Starship into the future.Dr. Gladys WestDr. Gladys West is one of the most notable Black female innovators in technology, revolutionizing the way we interact with the world, including both humans and robots. Her research…
Author: Red NardosBlack History Month is a time to reflect on the contributions and accomplishments of Black individuals throughout history, but it is also a time to remember the struggles and challenges they have faced and continue to face. Just like those who have had to overcome obstacles and keep moving forward, we too must learn from our experiences and use them to become better.Starship strives every day to live up to our core values. These are the values that guide each of us, and they extend far beyond our work within our company, the people we work with, the…
Starship Robots' seasonal robots now roam US campuses and UK citiesSan Francisco (October 31, 2022) — Halloween is here and that means candy, costumes, and walking pumpkins. If you scratched your head at that last one, you may not have visited the many university campuses and cities in the US, UK, and Europe where “Pumpkinbots” make deliveries. For a limited time, these orange bots are making deliveries, courtesy of Starship Technologies, the world's leading provider of automated delivery services.Although numerous sightings have already been reported, many Pumpkinbots have escaped and remain missing. Starship Technologies is offering a reward to anyone…
When Starship robots make deliveries, they may naturally need to cross roads. This is only done at suitable pre-mapped locations, but could also be at crosswalks, traffic lights, or simply unmarked intersections.Since we have pre-mapped all delivery areas, the robot knows which routes it can and cannot take.The robot is equipped with a series of sensors and cameras that constantly understand its surrounding environment. Sensors allow the robot to follow mapped routes and detect moving objects up to 90 meters away. This means we will only cross the road if we think it is safe to do so, so you…
To understand the new smart watched and other pro devices of recent focus, we should look to Silicon Valley and the quantified movement of the latest generation. Apple’s Watch records exercise, tracks our moves throughout the day, assesses the amount of time we are stood up and reminds us to get up and move around if we have been sat for too long – let’s not forget Tim Cook’s “sitting is the new factor” line. Diana saves Steve Trevor who has crashed on Themyscira. He warns her of the great war, World War I, raging across the globe. Wonder Woman…
