Against the record

Starship delivery robot, from Starship Technologies, is at stage 4 of 5 on our ladder: paying customers. Delivered and paid for, beyond pilots. The latest milestone on its record is from 28 April 2026: Starship said it had passed 10 million deliveries, with a fleet of more than 3,000 robots.

This video comes from the maker's own channel, and makers show their robots at their best. The stage above comes from dated public records, not from the video.

From the video's description

Robot delivery costs drop about 20–30% annually. Taavet Hinrikus from Plural was one of the first people to believe in Starship and the change it will bring to the last-mile infrastructure. In the beginning, the question was “how long before this will start working?” Now, the unit economics have more than proved themselves, as robot delivery costs drop about 20–30% annually with 8–11% incremental revenue increase per enabled store. Taavet thinks Europe's next big success story could totally be the robot you spot on your daily walk to work 👀🤖…
