…Starship Technologies has developed mobile robots to deliver food, groceries, and packages locally in minutes. They have traveled millions of miles and recently completed over 2 million autonomous deliveries around the world, said the San Francisco-based company. The robots drive autonomously but are monitored by humans who can take control at any time. Starship's zero-emission robots use a combination of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and sensors to travel on sidewalks and navigate around obstacles. Computer vision-based navigation helps the robots to map their environment to the nearest inch. Starship said its robots can cross streets, climb curbs, travel day and…

…“If you look at the food supply chain, including grocery stores and restaurants, virtually everything that goes into a pizza gets frozen or canned, including the dough.” Why did the company decide to use frozen ingredients? “Our decision to follow frozen was threefold. First was consumer and food safety,” Kenealy replied. “Second was nutrition, and frozen retains quality better, with significantly less food waste. Third, we can scale much easier, since the shelf life of a refrigerated product is only three to four days. We can get better ingredients that last longer.” The company said its APKs cook pizzas to…

…type of goods. One great example comes from the grocery industry. In the past, grocery retailers have typically focused their automation investments on shelf-stable goods. Fresh and perishable food distribution, on the other hand, has remained mostly manual. Why? When handling perishable products like fresh produce, dairy foods, and baked goods, time is of the essence. These products need to move through the distribution process as quickly and efficiently as possible to maintain quality and freshness. Otherwise, they could spoil prematurely, creating excess waste, food safety issues, and unhappy customers. Previous generations of robotic systems weren’t built to meet this…
