One semi-trendy AI application is to use robots to deliver physical items from businesses to consumers…where the robot figures out the delivery route.
According to Dennis Robbins, this is happening in Arizona.
After looking at the regulations, or lack thereof, governing delivery robots in the Phoenix area, Robbins goes into investigative mode.
“After a nice breakfast at IHOP, I found myself facing off with the DoorDash Polar Labs delivery bot.”
If you are not from the U.S., the acronym IHOP stands for International House of Pancakes. (Except for that time when the marketers went crazy.) Not that they’re international, but I digress.
So the delivery bot set out to deliver packages to a hungry customer.
“Anyway … I followed my little friend after it picked up an order from IHOP. Enjoy our strange little jaunt.”
I won’t give it away, other than to comment that AI is like a drug-using teenager who only half listens to you. (I’ve said this before, stealing the idea from Steve Craig and Maxine Most.)
