Sources: 8. Developments: 2. Serve Robotics has launched Australia’s first autonomous sidewalk delivery service on the Gold Coast. This pilot program, which marks the company’s first international expansion outside the United States, operates within the Gold Coast Health and Knowledge Precinct and Griffith University. The service is integrated with the DoorDash app, allowing customers to select robot delivery from participating local restaurants. The fleet consists of four-wheeled electric robots weighing approximately 100 kilograms, equipped with insulated compartments for food. To ensure safety, the robots navigate sidewalks at walking speeds using sensors to avoid pedestrians and obstacles, while being continuously monitored by remote supervisors. Griffith University serves as the operational base, hosting the fleet’s depot for charging, maintenance, and coordination. The project serves an area of more than 3,000 residents and approximately 20,000 students. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-31: DoorDash launches autonomous robot delivery pilot in Australia DoorDash and Serve Robotics have started an autonomous sidewalk delivery pilot on Australia's Gold Coast, while CEO Tony Xu reports low initial usage of AI-agent ordering interfaces. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/doordash-launches-autonomous-robot-delivery-pilot-in-australia ### 2026-10-28: Serve Robotics launches first Australian robot delivery service Serve Robotics and DoorDash have launched Australia’s first robot food delivery pilot on the Gold Coast, marking the company's first expansion outside the US. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/serve-robotics-and-doordash-launch-australias-first-sidewalk-delivery-service --- Cite as: Serve Robotics and DoorDash autonomous delivery pilot.
