Serve Robotics Inc. (NASDAQ:SERV) unveiled “Maggie,” its first conversational AI-powered robot, during a demonstration at NVIDIA GTC 2026. The robot is designed to communicate with people in real time while operating in public environments.
“We’re building robots that don’t just move through the world, but interact with it,” said Ali Kashani, CEO and co-founder of Serve Robotics. “With T-Mobile’s edge network, our robots can respond, unlocking more natural interactions and bringing physical AI into everyday environments.”
Serve Robotics develops autonomous sidewalk delivery robots used for short-distance, last-mile deliveries in urban settings. The robots rely on cameras, sensors and artificial intelligence to navigate city streets, detect obstacles and interact safely with pedestrians.
For the Maggie demonstration, the company partnered with T-Mobile, using the carrier’s 5G Advanced network and edge computing capabilities to power the system. The technology enables rapid response times through ultra-low latency connectivity, stronger security and localized data processing.
“Unlocking the full potential of physical AI requires more than intelligence on the device, it demands a network that can support inferencing at the edge where AI is moving and interacting with the world in real time,” said Grant Ries, Chief Data & AI Officer at T-Mobile.
