Kiwibot, Sodexo, Lunchbox, and the DU Innovation Lab partnered to create the food delivery service. Officials say the robots are a "safe, reliable, cost-effective and fun way" to meet delivery needs.

A beta test was launched last spring, with more than 800 successful deliveries.
The first restaurant implementing the new delivery system is Einstein Bagels.
