Starship Technologies, founded in 2014 by Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis, is a leader in autonomous delivery robotics. Headquartered in San Francisco, the company aims to revolutionize last-mile delivery by offering environmentally friendly, cost-efficient, and contactless solutions for urban and campus environments. Starship robots are compact, self-driving machines capable of carrying small parcels, groceries, or meals. They navigate sidewalks and streets using a combination of GPS, cameras, ultrasonic sensors, and AI-powered algorithms to ensure safe and efficient operation.

Deployed in multiple countries across North America and Europe, Starship partners with grocery stores, restaurants, universities, and delivery platforms to provide reliable autonomous logistics. Thousands of deliveries are completed daily, demonstrating the scalability and practicality of the technology. The robots communicate with customers via mobile apps, offering real-time tracking and secure retrieval. Starship’s focus on safety and efficiency has led to innovations in obstacle avoidance, pedestrian interaction, and low-speed urban navigation.

By reducing reliance on traditional vehicles, Starship Technologies not only lowers delivery costs but also contributes to reducing urban congestion and carbon emissions. With continued expansion and improvements in autonomy, Starship is paving the way for a future in which autonomous delivery robots become a normal, reliable part of daily life.
