The Serve Robotics Gen 3 is a battery-electric, four-wheeled sidewalk delivery robot unveiled October 2024 and mass-produced by contract manufacturer Magna International. It carries a 23 kg (50 lb) payload (four 16-inch pizzas), reaches 17.7 km/h (11 mph), and runs up to 14 h / 77 km per charge using an NVIDIA Jetson Orin compute module and Ouster REV7 digital lidar for Level 4 sidewalk autonomy. Over 2,000 units were deployed across US cities by end-2025 on the Uber Eats and DoorDash platforms.
