Just one week ago, Just Eat's robot head, Patrik Bergareche, brought a hummus, salad and carrot cake to the head of the company. In this way, they wanted to show that robots can carry food to their homes.
They have been testing since 2016, and in that year they took home their first home in Greenwich.
The robot was unveiled at Ifeman's Horeca Professional Expo (HIP). "The user does this through the shopping application and the app itself tells them that a robot will carry the food." Bergareche believes that there is still a lot of work to do with people, "because they have to get used to opening a door because they have a robot."
Yape, called Just Eat's robot, walked 50 feet and was able to see obstacles. Can find out that if a person passes before that, they must stop. He commented that they have completed more than 1000 tests and said that they have learned many things in every attempt. He believes that they will not be used in Spain until 2024.
Just Eat is not the only company that works with home robots. Amazon released Scout in 2019 to test robot-based package delivery, and Wing (Google Alphabet) has obtained permission for drone deliveries.
