Starship delivery robot roams the campus of Bowling Green State University.

Despite rumors posted online, Bowling Green State University officials say they are not parting ways with the Starship on-demand robots.

BG Falcon Media was alerted to and investigating online rumors that BGSU would be parting ways with Starship Technologies coming Fall of 2024. Upon further investigation, these claims were found to be false.

In March 2020 BGSU and Starship Technologies launched a fleet of 30 autonomous, on-demand robots, to deliver food, making BGSU the first university in Ohio to offer such services. Since then, the robots have continued to roam campus delivering food from one location to the next.

A University official told BG Falcon Media Starship Technologies and its partnership with Bowling Green State University remain in place and there is no plan for the two to part ways.
