The ongoing health crisis continues to affect the consumers' shopping behavior, changing how companies deliver goods. The result is that contactless deliveries have surged in popularity, with robots popping out to supply the demand.
The Ottobot is the creation of tech startup Ottonomy. The company started pilot tests in 2020 and has since perfected its product into what rolled today at CES: a machine ready to take retail and restaurant industries by storm.
Designed for curbside, last-mile, and indoor deliveries, the robot is equipped with sensors for situational awareness, which allow it to understand its surroundings and check for threats as it navigates. To get where it needs, the Ottobot makes a digital map of the destination and then localizes itself within the map, providing live updates as it runs to deliver the goods.
The Ottonomy's proprietary contextual mobility navigation technology allows the machine to make its way thourgh crowded places and unknown settings, such as airports. The robots can also "lend a hand" and become part of an establishment's staff to help provide deliveries both indoors and outdoors.

"Not going to see this in your home in the next decade"
Unsurprised, but it will definitely be fascinating to watch it develop.
Years pass by quickly— I still remember 2015 as if it were yesterday, and that was 7 years ago. Thus I can only imagine what this is going to be like in another 7 years. What will Ameca be like at CES 2029?

As a technophile, this is close to my dreams. And I'm happy to see that CES 2022 is host to humanoid robots like it, as I would have dreamed last decade.

Internet used to be an escape from the real world.
Now the real world is an escape from internet.

A vote for Trump, a third party candidate, or no vote at all, is a vote for a dystopian future.

Geez, you know, part of me hopes masks don't go out of style. I can easily envision these techno-masks as being a form of proto-transhumanism.
