Segunda, riesgos legales. Si un Kiwibot llegase a estrellarse contra ti, difícilmente podría causarte daño, sin embargo, si un dron cae sobre ti, las repercusiones podrían ser mayores. La tercera razón es por las baterías - el desarrollo de la humanidad en baterías de litio es tal que aun no podríamos ejercer operaciones consistentes tal que el servicio pague por los costos, por ese motivo los usos existentes de drones son de bienes costosos y generalmente en entornos rurales; diferentes a las densas áreas urbanas que componen nuestro nicho de mercado.","author_name":"Felipe Chávez Cortés","votes":2,"created_at":"2020-09-19T17:20:23Z"}]},{"id":102778,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:102778","question":"Hi, I love what you are doing since i know the Idea.

Can you please tell me when a Kiwibot was vandalized and how the company dealt with the incident? 2) How will software and hardware updates help minimize obstacles and vandalism? 3) When vandalism occurs, how are matters handled with the restaurant business and the food customer? On another note, can you tell me how far a kiwibot can travel for a delivery? Approximately how long does it take for the food to reach the customer? Is there a heating medium to keep the food warm?","author_name":"Raymond Hooks III","votes":1,"created_at":"2020-08-16T18:18:07Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/kiwibot#question-102461","answers":[{"id":102565,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:102565","answer":"Hi Raymond, thanks for your question: 1) a) We have an obstacle avoidance system based on cameras and also a set of distance sensors. b) When a Kiwibot gets vandalized we move the robot to another zone, we send a team member to the zone to understand what happened and we update our internal maps to flag time and location. 2) We are launching our Kiwibot 4.0 at the end of the year. We are upgrading our object detection models, upgrading our computers, adding a stereo camera and a new lock system. Also we are in constant communication with the citizens, my personal number is in the back of all our Kiwibots. 3) Food doesn't get affected normally, so we basically update the restaurant and the customer that an incident happened, ETA is updated, and if needed we send a new robot. This is not a major issue for us, very low % of cases. 4)The battery last ~8-10 hours, Speed: 3.5-4.5km/hour. 5) It depends on our contract's SLAs, geography, food preparation and other factors; but normally a transit time between 17-35 minutes. 6) We have an inner bag inside the robot that keeps the food warm or cold, we have had zero issues related to temperature.

As someone who's seen Kiwibot in action while visiting UC Berkeley (both in real action and students holding meme memorials over destroyed units), the technology seems promising. As some other people have noted, damage to the units, intentional or not, is a huge concern. While it may be easy to figure out a vandal from close distance, how do deal with damaged units from a person out of detectable range? As well, how do you deal with ROW in congested areas? From the units I've \"tested\" in the wild, they don't deal well when people make a wall or obstacle (which is equivalent in a high traffic areas of downtowns). Many neighborhoods in Los Angeles, as my local example, are very suitable for deployment based on distances of businesses to residents. However, we notoriously have terrible public infrastructure, and acutely so on sidewalks. Are there noticeable lifetime expectancy differences between ideal neighborhoods (flat, well-paved) versus real-world neighborhoods (topology, unmaintained, non-existent/unpaved path)?","author_name":"Steven Alexander Littaua","votes":1,"created_at":"2020-08-07T06:53:57Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/kiwibot#question-101122","answers":[{"id":102048,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:102048","answer":"Hi, Steven good question! 1.
