Robot.com Unveils Innovations in Robotics at NACAS C3X Conference
Robot.com Showcases Robotics at NACAS C3X Conference
Robot.com®, a leader in autonomous robotics, is set to amaze attendees at the NACAS C3X Annual Conference and Expo, taking place in Chicago, Illinois, from September 27 to 30, 2026. The company will present a live demonstration of its innovative robotics fleet at booth 540, featuring a fascinating real-time sequence where its humanoid robot, R-noid™, loads the R-kiwi™, a delivery robot. This is the first instance where both robots will work in cohesion in a campus setting, a milestone for Robot.com.
Incorporating advanced technology, Robot.com has established a strong foothold in campus delivery solutions over the past seven years, addressing real challenges faced by college communities and creating tangible value for students and food service partners alike. With its fleet operating on over 50 campuses and collaborating with more than 150 campus restaurants, the company has completed an impressive 350,000 deliveries. Such achievements underscore Robot.com’s commitment to enhancing the dining experience through autonomous delivery systems.
The live demo at the NACAS conference marks an exciting new phase for Robot.com, emphasizing how the seamless integration of its robotics can enrich the delivery process. Attendees will get a firsthand look at how R-noid™ can take care of back-of-house logistics by loading R-kiwi™, directly tying into the autonomous delivery infrastructure already in place for students to order meals on campus.
J. Kim Fennell, Chief Business Officer of Robot.com, states, "Campus delivery is where Robot.com started, and it is still our primary focus. The NACAS platform allows us to present not just a concept but a fully operational system that has been effectively deployed across numerous campuses, delivering proven and improving ROI."
In line with its intention to expand its presence in autonomous delivery, Robot.com disclosed notable partnerships and extensions earlier this month. The company renewed its agreement with Grubhub for an additional three years, enabling delivery offerings to 10 more campuses during the 2026-2027 academic year, raising the number of active deployments to over 20 across the country. Furthermore, a significant seven-year collaboration with Sodexo was announced, which is expected to enhance the scale of delivery solutions and robot-aided advertising using R-ads™ across Sodexo-managed campuses in North America.
Central to these efforts, Robot.com’s fleet operates using the proprietary REMI platform, a robust fleet management solution designed to integrate and monitor each robot effectively. The technology not only powers delivery robots like R-kiwi™ and R-cargo™ for larger errands but also propels the humanoid R-noid™ designed for essential back-of-house tasks. Excitingly, the company is also preparing to launch R-dog™, a four-legged concept robot that can traverse stairs and carry substantial loads, slated for campus deployments in early 2027.
