Serve Robotics opens its sidewalk bot fleet to all developers

Serve Robotics has launched an open API platform that lets developers, businesses, and hobbyists programmatically summon its sidewalk delivery robots. The AV Delivery Developer Portal provides access to Serve's fleet of over 2,000 robots across the U.S. and Australia, along with a sandbox environment for testing applications before deploying them with live machines.

This move transforms sidewalk robots from closed delivery tools into programmable infrastructure, enabling developers to build custom applications for last-mile logistics. The platform could spark innovation in local commerce, accessibility services, and urban automation, turning Serve's navigation expertise into a foundation for community-driven robotics solutions.
