K-12 districts and universities put campus delivery, dining, floor-cleaning, security-patrol, and STEM robots to work with Service Robot Co. We select the units, lease them to fit tight public and grant-funded budgets, deploy across buildings, train facilities and teaching staff, and service every robot nationwide.

No. 02The shift

A shift on your campus

A campus is a small city on a public budget. Here is where the daily work automates.

  1. Stage 01

    Morning arrival

    Hallways and entries take the first wave of foot traffic.

    What the robot takes

    Floors got their pass overnight from a mapped scrubber route.

  2. Stage 02

    The dining rush

    Dining halls surge at lunch and the line backs up.

    What the robot takes

    Serving robots run food and bus through the peak.

  3. Stage 03

    Afternoon

    Gyms, libraries, and labs stay in use into the evening.

    What the robot takes

    Cleaning shifts to the emptier buildings on schedule.

  4. Stage 04

    Late night

    Food and package deliveries head for the dorms after dark.

    What the robot takes

    Delivery robots run the campus routes you cannot staff.

  5. Stage 05

    After hours

    Grounds and lots sit dark between security rounds.

    What the robot takes

    Patrol units and cameras cover the gaps.

The work that eats the week

The repetitive, physical, hard-to-staff ground in schools & higher education. This is what a robot takes.

  • Delivering food and packages across campus and to dorms, including the late-night hours you can’t staff.
  • Running food service and bussing through a peak dining-hall rush.
  • Scrubbing and vacuuming dining halls, gyms, libraries, and hallways overnight.
  • Patrolling grounds and lots after hours.
