Bill Schackner, The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; After food-delivery robots were benched, Pitt tests putting them back on the sidewalks
"Last week, the San Francisco-based company and dining services vendor
Sodexo resumed testing. Earlier, the gizmos were pulled from the
streets after a doctoral student using a wheelchair said one blocked her access to a sidewalk on Forbes Avenue.
Pitt spokesman Kevin Zwick said officials are still hoping to
formally debut the robots this fall. A handful of other universities
nationwide are using the Starship robots...
The 2-foot tall, six-wheeled devices that resemble rolling coolers are
programmed to navigate the campus and can be operated remotely as they
cross streets around campus. The plans have drawn a range of reactions
from those who depend on takeout or find themselves navigating crowded
streets with the bots."
