Getting your food in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic is getting downright robotic.
There’s been a seismic shift in interest in self-delivering robots in the last few weeks. Serve — a self-delivery robot for Postmates — has been out and about delivering grub to hungry customers.
BACKGRID
Postmates introduced Serve last December, and there’s obvious new-found interest in the contraption. For now, they’re meant to travel only short distances.
BTW … check out the vid … it looks like the robot’s eyes blink at 10 seconds and then again at 21 seconds.
This little doggy does a double-take when it sees the newfangled machine tooling down the street with purpose.
As for cool features … Serve can carry 50 lbs of food and it travels 30 miles on a single charge.
Serve communicates with dynamic lighting in the eyes … a light ring on top signals movement, like a change in direction.
BTW … Serve’s not the only game in town. Starship Technologies created a delivery robot that is already making the rounds in the U.K.
The big question … do they expect tips?
