Serve Gen 3

Serve Gen 3 is the third-generation autonomous sidewalk delivery robot of Serve Robotics, a public company listed on the Nasdaq under the ticker SERV, and is recorded in the sidewalk form factor as the public-company counterpoint to privately held delivery peers, since its SEC-disclosed quarterly filings give it stronger verification depth. Serve originated as Postmates X, the robotics division founded around 2017, and spun out as an independent company on March 2, 2021 with seed funding led by Neo after Uber acquired Postmates for 2.65 billion dollars, with Uber retaining a minority stake that has diluted over time; it later became public through a 2023 SPAC merger rather than a conventional initial public offering, and is led by co-founder and chief executive Ali Kashani. The Gen 3 robot, rolled out in October 2024, is roughly twice as fast and travels twice as far as Gen 2 at about half the manufacturing cost, with five times the onboard compute on NVIDIA Jetson Orin, an Ouster REV7 digital lidar, and a multi-sensor suite of RGB and time-of-flight cameras, ultrasonics, and GPS, and it operates as an operator-supervised Level 4 system, remotely monitored from Serve's local operations centers with human oversight and takeover available rather than being driverless. Its anchor commercial relationship is a May 2023 agreement with Uber to deploy up to two thousand robots on Uber Eats across US markets, since extended with DoorDash and a Shake Shack tie-in. As of its first-quarter 2026 results Serve reported revenue of three million dollars, about 197 million dollars in cash and marketable securities, a net loss of forty-nine million dollars, and 812 daily-active robots within a built fleet of roughly two thousand across forty-four cities in fourteen states; the registry records the verified active markets as US-only, including Los Angeles, Atlanta, Dallas-Fort Worth, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Chicago, and Alexandria, Virginia, and treats the two-thousand-robot figure as built capacity rather than simultaneously active.
