Wonder is expanding its Avride robot-delivery partnership to Jersey City and Hoboken, Arlington County and Philadelphia, first reported by Roboticsandautomationnews. The expansion adds dozens of additional Grubhub merchants, including at least one Wonder location in each market, while customers can be assigned a robot only if they opt in and their address falls within a service area.
Wonder’s Jersey City pilot launched in October 2025, the first time the company enabled autonomous delivery on its marketplace beyond Grubhub’s campus operations. Since launch, robots have completed nearly 20 percent of deliveries from that location.
That nearly 20 percent share is specific to Wonder’s Jersey City location, while the expansion names four markets and dozens of additional merchants.
Robot delivery is integrated into Grubhub’s ordering flow. Restaurants that opt in can access training and support, and the solution is offered at no additional cost.
Avride’s deployed robots feature its latest fully autonomous driving technology. They can make real-time routing decisions, adapt to dynamic sidewalk conditions and operate in varied weather.
The partners have aligned on safety protocols, operating guidelines and deployment to integrate the robots into existing urban infrastructure, with local standards and community needs in view.
Wonder and Avride also operate across dozens of campuses through Grubhub’s campus offering. It includes the nation’s largest single-site robot food delivery program at The Ohio State University, where 120 robots complete up to 2,000 deliveries per day.
