Serve Robotics Inc. , a leading autonomous sidewalk delivery company, and the City of Alexandria announced last week the launch of Serve’s on-demand robotic delivery service in Alexandria, according to a press release from the company.
In partnership with Uber Eats, the delivery-platform of Uber Technologies, residents and businesses in North East Alexandria, Del Ray, Potomac West, Old Town North, and nearby neighborhoods will now have the option to receive their orders via Serve’s autonomous robots.
This expansion builds on Serve’s nationwide rollout and supports the company’s commitment to bringing sustainable delivery solutions to dense urban markets, helping reduce costs, traffic, and emissions.
The launch also reflects Alexandria’s dedication to innovative mobility, by introducing another delivery option that improves access to everyday goods. Serve worked closely with the City of Alexandria and local stakeholders to ensure a safe, publicly aligned deployment that enhances convenience for residents and businesses while supporting the city’s broader transportation and environmental goals.
“Delivering our autonomous service in Alexandria is a landmark step toward enabling scalable, sustainable last-mile logistics in historically rich, pedestrian-oriented cities. This represents steady execution against our 2025 roadmap, as we had promised,” said Ali Kashani, CEO and co-founder of Serve Robotics. “Alexandria’s vibrant heritage, strong sense of community, and ongoing focus on smart mobility make it an ideal launch ground for our next generation of sidewalk robots.”
In the last 12 months, the company has launched and expanded in cities nationwide including Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Dallas–Fort Worth and Atlanta, and deepened partnerships with major national brands. Serve expects to continue announcing market launches across the country throughout 2026.
“Uber Eats is excited to extend our partnership with Serve Robotics into Alexandria,” said Aaron Emrich, global head of Autonomous Delivery at Uber. “Together, we’re enabling more consumers to experience the convenience and novelty of robot-powered delivery, while helping merchants serve their customers in new ways."
Serve’s begins deployment in Alexandria immediately and plans to expand into additional neighborhoods throughout the area in the coming months.
