Oh I had no idea! Would be fun to see a video of them! Why don't you share it? :)

So adorable like real life Wall-E but delivering food

[@LeonardoRossetti]

ahah yes, they are! I'd just want them more assertive when crossing the streets, but cute indeed. Everyone stops to look at them and take pix :)

[@chriskemp6272]

Yes!

[@MujoNovak]

... till they charged on you full throttle

[@shanghai264359]

This is delightful! We are from the UK and we know Castro Street very well!

Hehe thank you! :) Yes Castro st is really nice and now it's fun to see all these robots roaming around!

Интересно где и кто их заряжает и на сколько их вообще хватает по запасу хода. В России такие лучше на широких гусеницах делать или колеса от фетбайка, так удобнее будет по глубокому снегу ездить.

[@LeonardoRossetti]

Good point! I can't speak to the power reserve, but I can tell you that - in Mountain View - they used to be stored and charged in a grocery store in front of which they were usually parked in stand by during the day. So I'm imagining you need a business to host them for the night.

[@geoffreywilton8610]

Clearly smarter than humans when crossing the street..

[@LeonardoRossetti]

Ahaha definitely more careful :)

[@josephbennett3482]

Hahaha yeah , the robots wait till there isn't no vehicles coming then they cross but our fellow dimwitted humans walk out into the street when there are vehicles going past , it's pretty bad that a robot can make safer decisions than what a human brain does.

За ИИ и роботами наше будущее. Но иногда задумываешься что может даже и немного и опасное будущее. Когда роботы реально поймут что смогут обходится и без нашей помощи. Так что экологический транспорт залог хорошего будущего. Сам езжу уже 15 лет на велосипеде круглый год а не так давно уже 2 года езжу на электрофетбайке и могу с уверенностью сказать машина мне не нужна =)

[@LeonardoRossetti]

Yeah, I agree electric bikes can really cover a good part of your needs. I'd say except for when you have to go buy a lot of groceries or if you have to transport someone around...

[@The_Jedi_Padawan]

незабуваєм про ресурси яки потрибни для роботів

[@DimVortep]

Ну глядя на то что как сейчас ИИ умнеет не по дням а по часам то думаю додумаются откуда взять ресурс. А потом будет как в фильме война миров люди как ресурс.@@The_Jedi_Padawan

[@DimVortep]

And in this case, if you transfer someone, there is a taxi. And if you buy a lot of products, it’s easier now to order home delivery. It’s much simpler and the price is reasonable. So in the future, in a small city, a car is not needed at all for everyday needs.@@LeonardoRossetti

[@user-tu4zp6ju1q]

Они не смогут обходиться, без нашей помощи! Ибо обслуживать, всё равно нужно! И в какой то момент, люди тоже не смогут, без их помощи!😮

Plan A. THE DELIVERIES IS GOING WELL AND THE SOMETIMES A CLICH HAPPENS DO YOU HAVE A WAY OUT? Robots is a wonderful thing sometimes you maybe have to have a plan B.

[@LeonardoRossetti]

Eheh, I think they do have a plan B as it can be remotely controlled out of issues!

this is future tec

[@LeonardoRossetti]

Hehe yes, it is!

[@Bertie_Ahern]

The ones in the UK seem to move faster. Maybe these ones are still learning the routes.

Oh cool, do you have a video? I'd be super curious to see them!!☺️

Oh that's cool, I had no idea! They were branded as Starship Robots here in Mountain View. Haven't seen one in years though

[@jiehyichang5267]

Nice. But these robots will easily get killed by scooters in Taipei I'm sure.

[@LeonardoRossetti]

Ahah maybe, though they are very very careful when crossing (even too careful!)

[@brianlopez8855]

The pavement is for people. The road is for motorised vehicles and that is where they should all be. Good luck with the traffic. We should all be walking to collect items anyway.

[@LeonardoRossetti]

I see where you are coming from, but I think that a device that can be aware of its surrounding, and not interfering or harming people walking next to them, could potentially exist well on a pavement...

[@user-em7fs2od7q]

А это не опасно, он может привезти что угодно.

Cheese burger ,fries and coke ,on the way😅

[@marcuslinton310]

At what quantity will these things start to become a nuisance? It's only a matter of time.

[@LeonardoRossetti]

Yeah haven't seen them around anymore... They were too slow and indecisive and becoming a problem on busy sidewalks :(

[@khasi4691]

This gonna work better in countries like japan,,

[@LeonardoRossetti]

That's an interesting POV... Why would it work better in Japan? My idea of JP is that's way more crowded and chaotic than suburban California, hence more difficult for it to navigate around... No?

[@khasi4691]

@@LeonardoRossetti that's right, but i saw a video about two homeless jerk fighting with the bot, probably nyc or Philadelphia.

[@Smurphenstein]

They can deliver groceries but can they go a round in robot wars? 😁 Very cool the way they give way to pedestrians and wait to cross the road even if it is against a pedestrian no crossing light.

[@LeonardoRossetti]

Ahah I seriously doubt they would survive in a Robot war 🥹 And, yes, they are very scared/conservative towards pedestrians and they do a pretty good job at respecting the signs 💁

Awesome ❤️

NO need to wait until you are drunk to push them over. They are Schwab's little leeches. Wait for the ones with machine guns mounted on them firing at YOU.

[@jerryjohanan1940]

If I ever get my food from something like that I'm going to send it back and tell them I want a real person not a toy

[@LeonardoRossetti]

I tend to disagree on this one. What does the mean of transportation have to do with the quality of what you order? Does the type of DoorDasher or Uber driver you get assigned to your delivery change the way the food is prepared or taste? Of course assuming this "toy" doesn't take way longer than a human to bring you the food, making it stale or cold.

[@jerryjohanan1940]

The thing is I like to leave a tips I'm a truck driver and I believe in people not a robot

[@LeonardoRossetti]

@@jerryjohanan1940 I hear you but... Would you tip a robot? And... Would you get a delivery from a person just because you wanna tip them? Good point tho, maybe they should include a way to tip the restaurant instead of the delivery robot 💁🏼‍♂️
