Serve Robotics Expands Delivery Operations into Koreatown with Advanced Fleet Technology

Serve Robotics CEO Dr. Ali Kashani has announced the expansion of the company's delivery operations into Koreatown, Los Angeles. This strategic move is part of Serve's long-term plan to broaden its geographic reach both in Los Angeles and across the United States. Koreatown was chosen for its dense and vibrant commercial hub, growing residential community, and well-maintained sidewalk infrastructure, making it an ideal location for robotic delivery services. This expansion is a result of ongoing collaboration with the Los Angeles city government and local stakeholders.

In preparation for scaling up its fleet for further expansions, Serve Robotics has signed an expanded supply agreement with Ouster, Inc. This agreement will equip Serve's next-generation robots with the latest-generation lidar sensors, providing equipment for 2,000 robots. Lidar technology is a critical component of Serve's autonomy stack, enabling the robots to accurately perceive their environment, identify their precise location, and safely navigate alongside pedestrians and other sidewalk users. Serve anticipates that the new sensors will improve the safety, speed, and cost-effectiveness of its fleet.

This strategic expansion and technological enhancement underscore Serve Robotics' commitment to advancing its autonomous delivery services and meeting the growing demand for efficient, sustainable delivery solutions. The introduction of advanced lidar sensors is expected to significantly enhance the operational capabilities of Serve's robotic fleet, making them safer and more efficient in various urban environments.
