The Starship robots will be able to travel two to three miles from the delivery van, and the company claims this will help deliver 400 packages across a nine-hour shift.

Robotics company Starship Technologies filed trademarks for both "Starship" and "Robovan" before SpaceX and Tesla did, per US patent office data.

Starship Technologies says that using the Robovan system with robots inside, 400 packages could be delivered for every nine-hour shift.

Both Postmates and DoorDash said they don’t have specific plans for delivery robots, but want to explore the viability of Starship’s technology.

HELSINKI, Finland — Just a week after Starship Technologies announced it was developing a fleet of delivery robots, the company demonstrated one on stage today for the first time.

With fewer legal constrains than public sidewalks, self-driving robots from Starship Technologies are bringing coffee and breakfast burritos to tech workers in California.
