Serve Robotics Enters Production Agreement with Magna to Scale Robot Manufacturing

-Serve to rely on Magna's manufacturing expertise to scale its fleet to up to 2,000 robots for Uber Eats and for geographic expansion -Magna has been licensing Serve's technology to support development of new robotic products

Serve Robotics Inc. (the "Company" or "Serve") (NASDAQ:SERV), a leading autonomous sidewalk delivery company, today announced an expansion of their existing agreement with Magna International Inc. ("Magna") (TSX: MG; NYSE: MGA), one of the world's largest automotive suppliers, to accelerate the adoption of robotics in logistics. Under the terms of a new production and purchase agreement effective April 24, Magna will become the exclusive contract manufacturer of Serve's delivery robots, supporting Serve's plan to deploy up to 2,000 robots on the Uber Eats platform across multiple U.S. markets.


This new agreement extends the partnership established by a previously disclosed licensing agreement effective February 20, 2024, under which Serve granted Magna a non-exclusive license to its market-leading technologies and expertise, enabling Magna to further develop new products in the robotics and logistics space.

"Serve is a leader in creating robots that navigate complex human environments. Following our successful public offering, we are excited to start working to scale our robotic fleet with Magna's world-class manufacturing capabilities. This collaboration supports the natural progression of our business beyond food delivery and positions our proprietary robotics technology as a platform upon which new robots can be built. Magna is a valuable partner in this effort," said Ali Kashani, CEO of Serve Robotics.

"Magna is excited to continue collaborating with Serve, leveraging our manufacturing and technical expertise to help fuel Serve's growth potential," said Matteo Del Sorbo, Executive Vice President of Magna, responsible for New Mobility globally.

3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
