MADISON, Wis. — Starship Technologies is ending delivery robot operations at UW-Madison and other college campuses in the United States.

The company said in a statement to News 3 Now that it notified campus partners in early June that it would cease on-demand delivery operations in the United States. At UW-Madison, the service was only available during the school year and was offline for the summer.

Starship Technologies said it is shifting its strategic focus to retail grocery chains and hot food delivery in cities across Europe and the United States. As part of that shift, the company will end its U.S. university campus operations.

The delivery robot service had operated at the University of Wisconsin-Madison since 2019.
