We saw this one at Mueller when we were at the Alamo Drafthouse for a Community Clinical Research office party. We saw Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, the 1936 film with Gary Cooper. Very funny and holds up well after nearly 90 (!) years.
The bots use cameras, lidar, and ultrasound sensors to make deliveries at up to 15 mph. A behind-the-scenes remote operator monitors progress. You place your order, the robot makes the pick up, then delivers your pizza or cheeseburger or whatever. They can drive in traffic or in bike lanes. This one stopped before running into us on the sidewalk.
Still some things to work out though. Such as people hitching rides, knocking the robot over....I apologize in advance for the cursing (done by a human, not Austin the robot).
