Robot.com®, the company putting autonomous robots to work in the real world, announced its presence at the NACAS C3X Annual Conference & Expo in Chicago, Illinois, running September 27-30.
The company will showcase its robotics fleet at booth 540, including a live demonstration of R-noid™ loading an R-kiwi™ – the first time the company's humanoid and campus delivery robots have been sequenced together in a campus environment. The demonstration comes fresh on the heels of extended commercial agreements with both Grubhub and Sodexo.
Robot.com has been running autonomous delivery on college campuses for over seven years and has an unmatched depth of intelligence on how and where its robots solve real issues and create measurable value for colleges, students, food service providers, and partners. The platform has served 50+ campuses and 150+ campus restaurants, completing more than 350,000 deliveries through its fleet.
The live sequence demo at NACAS shows the next chapter of how Robot.com will benefit its food delivery partners. Show attendees can watch R-noid™ load an R-kiwi™ in real time – a humanoid robot handling the back-of-house work that feeds directly into the autonomous delivery system students already use to order food on campus. It is the kind of operational integration that Robot.com has been building toward since it first deployed robots on campus.
"Campus delivery is where Robot.com started, and it is still what we do every day," said J. Kim Fennell, Chief Business Officer of Robot.com. "NACAS gives us the chance to show the dining partners and campus operators in this room what seven years of deployment actually looks like – not a concept, not a pilot, but a full platform that has served dozens of campuses with proven – and improving – ROI."
Robot.com's campus partnerships continue to expand. Earlier this month, the company announced a three-year extension of its agreement with Grubhub, bringing autonomous delivery to 10 additional campuses for the 2026-2027 school year and growing its active Grubhub deployments to more than 20 nationwide.
In August, Robot.com announced a seven-year agreement with Sodexo – its largest single enterprise deployment to date – to scale autonomous delivery and robot advertising through R-ads™ across Sodexo-operated campuses in North America.
Robot.com's campus fleet runs on REMI, the company's proprietary fleet management platform and physical API layer that integrates, controls, and orchestrates every robot in the fleet. The same platform that runs R-kiwi™ for campus delivery and R-cargo™ for larger orders also powers R-noid™ for back-of-house humanoid labor and will soon power R-dog™, a four-legged concept robot built to carry large orders, pizzas, and packages up stairs that wheeled robots cannot climb, with commercial campus deployments targeted for early 2027.
