Robots lending a hand with groceries
Robots are lending a hand with groceries
Two robots named "Camello"
are helping customers carry groceries
They help around
700 households
They were created by local
technology company OTSAW
They bring shoppers items they've
bought online from the supermarket
CEO OF OTSAW DIGITAL, LING TING MING, SAYING:"We have a mobile app that enables the user to actually see when the robot is in transportation, it will actually send a notice to the user, and they book a time slot and once it arrives at their place, it will send a notification."
They have 3D sensors, cameras, and
weatherproof compartments
Each can carry around 45 pounds
It seems to be impressing younger shoppers
(SOUNDBITE) (English) 25-YEAR-OLD STUDENT TASHFIQUE HAIDER, SAYING:"It makes it easier because I don't have to carry the load. Like I'm not talking just for myself, like, for example, the elderly could specially use it because they wouldn't have to carry stuff all the way to their home."
The shopping bots are on trial for a year
