Uber Eats will soon use robots to deliver your takeaway - but you can't tip them

• Uber Eats and Starship Technologies sign delivery partnership
• Robotic deliveries coming to parts of the UK soon
• Expansion could spread to Europe in 2026

Uber Eats has revealed it will soon be using robots from Starship Technologies to deliver food and other items to customers across the UK.

The delivery giant has partnered with the robotics firm to launch an initial trial in Leeds, before expanding to Sheffield and hopefully other parts of the UK in the future, with a European expansion planned in 2026, and the US market in 2027.

However customers won't be able to tip their robotic friend, but can rate their experience in the app, much like any typical Uber Eats delivery.
