This tech will follow the path of the cell phone. Expensive, clunky and sub par performance at first and as time goes by it will eventually be ubiquitous.
It's actually the opposite there's not enough regulation. Company's are afraid to roll these technologies out because they don't know where their liabilities are. Until they know you won't see company's taking the risk of mass release and then getting sued into the ground.
The idea sounds cool. But in real life these aren't going to work. They are going to get destroyed, vandalized stolen etc etc etc. Then you have the possibility of terrorists using devices like this.
One thing people are overlooking imo is physical security imo, especially if a company is going to use smaller delivery robots - I can see a lot of people picking them up and trying to smash them to get to whatever is inside. Same for delivery vans - people will just stand in front of them and then use another group to smash them to get the goods.
it would be the same thing as jumping a delivery person. or car jacking. with this since there's no human there's less of a chance of someone begin hurt.
This is a serious issue regarding employment. Delivery services is one of the main employing sectors for students who work part-time to support themselves for college
I this for this to work they need to make this unmanned vehicle rather than fully automatic so that the delivery guy can operate it from home and get paid too...this harmonic relationship will benefit both unemployment and ease of work
This is great but surely will only be implemented in rich neighborhoods, hotels, private schools, etc. That’s fine though, it’s one step more to the immediate “future”
This should work well as long as you pack a gun at the base that can rotate 360 degrees and fire at will. Only way its going to keep the thieves from touching it. Also, this will probably be more expensive than traditional employment at first. It's like 3x slower than a human and it requires quite a fair amount of maintenance. We probably won't be replacing jobs for another 20-30 years.
You robot manufacturers really have positive thinking when it comes to the real world deliveries ... in advertisement your concept works .. because there are no criminal people there ! In reality people with bad characters are going to kick or beat those delivery bots and destroy them totally or just parts of them, just because they can and they might have fun doing that ! The Robots have to be much more robust ( steel body and chassis ), they need more cameras for surveillance of all directions uploading the video in clouds in realtime in case somebody is attacking that robot, some models need much bigger wheels for more stable delivery , they need to be better visible for everyone, so they need neon orange or neon yellow colors for the complete body and a much bigger flag or even a big lightweight plastic ball on top of the "antenna" in that same color. So that vehicle can be seen very good from any direction. They also need a much better suspension for the whole body because those transported bottles ( for example: cola, etc. ) will spray when you open them after such a shaky ride. This advertisement is absolutely naive ! People are really bad in public areas and robots will get destroyed a lot in the close future ! (especially when people feel safe and nobody is near ).
What you say makes a lot of sense there have always been bad actors that keep the rest of us from having nice things but other than people concerned about the employment issues isn’t it time we make these assholes start cleaning up the messes they make that drag everyone else down???🤨
Ice cold lemon aid and hot BBQ on a warm Summer afternoon would be pleasant without stepping out into dangerous car traffic roasting in the Sun could make America great again. I remember when this country was family oriented with lemonaid stands and small businesses going on. Since my supermarket and restaurants aren't walking distance and I don't drive anymore out of now our economic system is becoming, I'm wishing for robots, drones, and ways to better thrive in life and at the bank too instead of more restrictions.
I'm not against delivery robots but we need a reality check like this. We're simply not ready and can not be ready for wide scale public use of robot delivery or policing robots unless possibly two conditions are met. There would need to be heavy fines (like Singapore justice) for tampering with them like with the Federal Mail or they would need to reach a status of essential service workers where people would respect them due to perhaps a fear of being on the streets with rising rates of disease or crime. The risks for simple willful damage to the robots is too great and too easy unless they had a self defense mechanism built in like an electronic tazer:). They could be victimized by any number of assailants such as simple practical jokers, competitive saboteurs, anti robot activists, run of the mill thieves and vandals etc. Even though they would be monitored by head office, the attackers would be gone in a matter of minutes. The easiest attack would be to simply throw one like a moped, into a pickup truck and into a Faraday non traceable bag. Vandals could simply throw a heavy sticky, ruglike material onto the robot, or pour some liquid like oil or cement onto the wheel mechanism. Other ways could be to smash them with some type of ramming object or vehicle or spray paint the camera lenses and sensors. Or the contents themselves could be rendered undeliverable by spraying the whole unit with some noxious skunk like smell and then derailing the whole public's trust in them. Sure we've had success with driverless vehicles as the general public is now at the early fascination stage of most robotic assistance devices. This probably won't last too long unless the public sees these robots as essential for modern day living.
We can also tax robots. They are taking away jobs, so there should be an extra tax for robots. They tax our cars, so it's not unusual to tax robot vehicles.
What happens when they start hitting them with tasers? Or a cheap faraday cage? And then taking off with them? They are already hitting car charging stations with a simple spring loaded center lunch to crack the displays and damage the surveillance cameras. Yet the charge station will stay say in the app that it’s a functioning station.
Soooo what happens to all the people that used to work doing these jobs? What happens when 75% of jobs are taken by robots? Enjoy the cheaper delivery while you can afford it, then enjoy being homeless. That's where we're headed.
If about big lorry kind of driving from distance will be nice, thinking of such - about stocks, that when it stop to split with smaller lorry to split at places. This small robots should be automatic(g.p.s points, like a creation of coordinate[because it is a marking of places instead] that is a map point like m.r.t), the fun driving to deliver, should be supposedly for driving small toycars kind of games/competition. Cannot let this be endurance level, some things been existing since long time ago then life really is about their agro-decision? Something so fun that is public if can deny from their knowing is safer, about revenge.
This will fail. Air Drone delivery is the way to go. The problem is that these robots will get in the way of people on the sidewalks and they are too slow to drive on the streets.
The air drone delivery system doesn't work either. It has severe limitations. You have power lines you have trees, and that would have had apartments inside of buildings? You have tons of obstructions, people hitting them down destroying them. I wouldn't want something delivered to me that wasn't delivered by a human.
Wait we complain people aren't working. Then we complain there aren't enough jobs. Then we are to stupid to see what this does to mankind as a whole. This destroys us. This doesn't help us. How do men & women feed their children or receive proper health care without employment? Wake up people! While y'all are at it grow up.. Real adults handle their own business. Not depend on a machine. If you are dying do you want a machine or real person trying to save your life?
Its not practical to use these smaller size wheel runned drones, too slow for the highway/streets, too bulk for side walks, too limited in range. Unless they meet up with a vehical to primary average range.
@@Casyfill mheh, they are too bulk on a sidewalk, like pushing bulk wheel kids ride carts or jumbo baby carriages., they will need a main vehicle that deploys them in a center or average range. Which is why fly drones, even bigger, are getting popular.
@@ckdigitaltheqof6th210 I wish. Fly drones can now deliver like 2 kg at once, around 2 coffee cups in size. Also, VERY noisy. So probably ok for subs, not cool for the city. I think the economics of this are in automation and routing.
@@ckdigitaltheqof6th210 but cycling back - I live in Brooklyn and have about 20 shops and restraurants within 2 blocks from me. If that thing can deliver within 4-5 blocks, it covers 95% of my needs (I personally prefer to get my stuff myself though )
@@Casyfill they have *room* to advance, sound, speed and behavior, a sidewalk, doesn't like to be tild this. Drones are now big enough to be a passenge flight travels, 2kg is no longer the scale limit.
