Delivery in 2020

The University of Wisconsin purchased these cute little delivery robots about 6 to 8 months ago.  We have seen them tooling around the sidewalks as we have been out for walks prior to the whole "virus shutting down the world" thing.  But this is the first time we saw this many of them all lined up in a row next to one of UW's dining halls.  They were being loaded to make safe contact-less delivery around campus to those students who needed to still be on campus as well as to the health care providers at the University hospital.  Isn't technology just grand.

They navigate completely independently including moving across several really busy streets - how?  Not a clue, especially for a multi-lane road - they must be able to read street lights or something.  They are even able to steer around students trying to block them including being able to nicely say to the person - get out the way.

Too fun and made one of our morning walks enjoyable, plus gave us something to talk about that wasn't the virus.
