Students at Oregon State University’s (OSU) campus in Corvallis on Tuesday were told to avoid all food delivery robots due to a bomb threat that was later revealed to be a prank.

OSU posted an emergency alert on X, formerly known as Twitter, that there was a bomb threat involving the Starship food delivery robots and urged students to “avoid all robots until further notice.”
