Snack-Wielding Robots From PepsiCo Are Invading the University of the Pacific

The company says it's reimagining college snacking

In days of yore, peckish college students had to physically seek out sources of sustenance. No more: Food giant PepsiCo announced it is bringing a fleet of self-driving robots to the nearly 5,000 students at the University of the Pacific’s Stockton, California, campus.

The robot, Snackbot, hails from robotics company Robby Technologies, and will include snacks and drinks from a curated line of healthier PepsiCo products the company calls “Hello Goodness.” This includes its Smartfood Delight, Baked Lay’s, SunChips, Pure Leaf Tea, Bubly, Lifewtr and Starbucks Cold Brew brands.
