Today, every day, we hear the news that "bots will make people unemployed." This is not a hole in the wind, but something that might happen in the future.
American startup Marble has teamed up with the US public comment Yelp to launch a food delivery robot. Now, residents of the San Francisco area can already take meals through this white four-wheeled cart. Although it is so common, this food delivery robot can optimize the meal delivery route by means of built-in sensors and camera mapping roads.

The downside is that this food delivery robot is not fully automated, but semi-manual, depending on the specific circumstances of each meal, there will be different levels of human intervention. Specifically, one person will accompany the delivery robot to deliver the meal. If a robot with a hole cover on the road cannot handle it alone, this person will take over and help solve it.
On the one hand, we have developed a robot that has the ability to take delivery, and this thing is very gratifying. On the other hand, these food delivery robots also need people to accompany them, and they are a little disappointing. Moreover, there may be too many accidents in the meal delivery process, such as sewer holes that are difficult to find on the road, or people with mischief who apply mud on the robot camera and sensors to make it malfunction.
A few weeks ago, Australia's Pizza giant Domino announced a partnership with robotics startup Starship Technologies to deliver pizza takeaways in several European cities. One of the reasons Domino does this is to find that there will be insufficient number of delivery staff in the future.
“With our business growth plan for the next five to ten years, our takeaway delivery staff is definitely not enough without the use of a delivery robot,†said DonMeij, CEO of Domino.

It seems that the takeaway delivery robot is ready to go, everyone is ready to test the field. Although the current take-away robots are still quite primitive, there are still many technical problems to be solved, but this is a normal thing in the development of social science and technology. People who look at today's food delivery robots 50 years later are as ridiculous as we are now looking at the original concept of aircraft invention.
However, it is undeniable that bicycles and supersonic aircraft are not accomplished overnight. The trial and error of these early stages of technological development is crucial for the maturity of future technologies. The development of technology is accompanied by various strange tests in the early stage, in order to develop viable products, and the society needs to provide supporting infrastructure.
Telenoid, a chat bot developed in Japan, is an example. To be honest, this robot is as ugly as a horror movie. However, it can mimic human expressions, movements and sounds remotely. The user only needs to sit in front of the computer, and the camera captures and records his expression and movement changes. The robot at the other end can accurately simulate it, so that relatives and friends who are thousands of miles away feel as if they are facing the speaker himself. Conversation may be an innovative solution for intimate and remote communication between people in modern society.

Therefore, 50 years later, it is estimated that people who come to see our innovative technology today will feel funny. However, they will also realize that these seemingly clumsy innovations in the early stages are the starting point for their comfortable high-tech life.
