Robotic meal delivery will soon become a reality in the United States


Beijing time on March 6 news, according to foreign technology media arstechnica report, robot delivery has been tested in the United States. Unlike previously unmanned express delivery faced with regulatory issues, the delivery of robots to the restaurant has opened the industry's eyes and will soon become a reality.
The following are the details of the report: These robots are not those high-end military products that land on Mars, but are commercial products that are only used on Earth and provide humans with delivery services. In other words, these robots are intelligent couriers. Starship Technologies, which specializes in food delivery robotics, is headquartered in London. The company has piloted robot delivery services in the District of Columbia, Redwood City, California and other parts of the world. And now, the company has also obtained business promotion authority in Virginia. This summer, Virginia will become the first place in the United States to officially compile the so-called “electric personal delivery device” authority. Idaho, Florida, and other state governments are also reviewing similar robot-related legal issues. These robots use wheels as a tool of action - if you wish, they can also be called land drones. Previously, Google, Amazon, and other companies hoped to implement delivery services through aerial drones. These so-called land drones clearly broadened the mindset of the industry. The delivery of drones in the air brings more stringent regulatory processes and higher security standards. Research firm Gartner said in a report last month that drone delivery "will not become mainstream in the next few years." Relevant legal regulations Of course, although the development of the drone delivery market is slow, it seems that there are signs of speeding up. We can look at Virginia's definition and rules for private delivery robots. This applies to all companies, not just Starship Technologies: “Electric private delivery equipment” means (i) electric devices that operate on sidewalks, public pathways and pedestrian crossings and are primarily used to transport property; (ii) weigh less than 50 pounds (no Include shipments; (iii) Maximum speed is 10 miles per hour; and (iv) Equipped with appropriate technology to operate the equipment with or without active control or natural person monitoring. "Electric private delivery equipment operator" refers to an entity or its agent that directly controls or monitors the operation of navigation systems and electric private delivery equipment. For the purposes of this definition, "agent" means an individual who is not less than 16 years old, who is entrusted by the entity with responsibility for the navigation and operation of "electric private delivery equipment". "Electric Private Delivery Equipment Operators" does not include (i) entities or individuals that require electric private delivery equipment to perform transportation property services, or (ii) entities or individuals that only arrange and distribute electric private delivery equipment related services.
Industry Benchmarking Status Starship Technologies' robots have complied with relevant regulations. Their robots travel at pedestrian speed and can warn passersby of their presence and can ship items within a radius of about 2 miles. Cameras and sensors equipped with robots can also keep goods hot and cold. Moreover, these robots weigh less than 50 pounds and comply with the law. When these robots reach the customer's door, the customer receives a text message and a link, which also unlocks the robot's cargo compartment. The robot holds can hold about 20 pounds of cargo. Customers can also monitor their delivery schedules on their mobile phones. Moreover, according to Virginia law, robots must at least support remote monitoring. Starship Technologies is very confident about this. Starship Technologies stated that the company has set up a robot service area, so its own company's robot positioning error within one inch. A company spokesperson told the reporter that the working principle of robot delivery is almost the same as the manual delivery personnel. The only difference is that the delivery courier is not a human but a robot. In addition, Marble and Dispatch are also competitive companies in this field. Starship Technologies was founded by Skype founders Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis. At present, it seems that it is in the leading position in this industry. In January of this year, Daimler brought in $17.20 million in financing for the start-up company. We can begin to pray. I hope these delivery robots will not be self-conscious and drink drunk in front of someone's door.
