Heading to the college dining hall to get some grub is so last semester — at least for some students at George Mason University.
It has been so well received that Sodexo has expanded the program at GMU and last week began service at Northern Arizona University, with hopes of expanding to more universities. At first, students say, ordering a robot to deliver coffee was a novelty, but now it's become a part of life on campus. This is evident in how busy the bots are at peak hours and how they seem to migrate the grounds around, and even as a part of, the packs of students making their way to and from class. It's not uncommon to see campus visitors snap a photo while others completely ignore the small rectangular bots on wheels passing them by, full of coffees, pizzas, fries and more.
To be sure, the service suffered some bumps along the way, mainly in navigating construction around the GMU campus, along with winter storms. Sodexo says the students have been helpful, even lifting up the bots as they tried to venture across snow to get them back on course.
