What is the reality of retail robots?

21/1/2016

0 Comments

 
The current furore over airborne drones tends to obscure the fact that other robotic products are appearing in the wider world. Unmanned buggies may be more down to earth than quadcopters, but they could well be the future of automated delivery. What are the terrestrial drones and how far have they progressed into service?

I'm looking for people who can comment on the true prospects for drones and robots.  Amazon has milked its drone idea for massive publicity. But the legal and insurance implications of flying groceries have not been properly explored. I want to hear some honest opinions and factual arguments, not breathless enthusiasm, please!

This is for an article appearing in the Financial Times in March. I need to speak to people quickly, and by close of play on Thursday 28 January at the latest.
