Description:

The project is centred around the design, development, deployment and iteration of a service that allows users to interact with sidewalk robots through a self service application for the purpose of conducting deliveries and curb side pickup tasks. Since the notion of interacting with robots in these environments for these purposes is still very new, considerable efforts is required to understand behaviours, expectations and reservations that users may have with robots and then educate and mentor them in a way that allows them to experience the core value of our offering and see enough value to become a loyal user.
