“#Robots on call for Singapore home deliveries<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

SINGAPORE \u2013 Hoping to capitalise on a surge in demand for home deliveries, a Singapore technology<\/a> company has deployed a pair of robots to bring residents their groceries in one part of the city state.<\/p>\n

Developed by OTSAW Digital and both named \u201cCamello\u201d, the robots\u2019 services have been offered to 700 households in a one-year trial.<\/p>\n

Users can book delivery slots for their milk and eggs, and an app<\/a> notifies them when the robot is about to reach a pick-up point \u2013 usually the lobby of an apartment building.<\/p>\n

The robots, which are equipped with 3D sensors, a camera and two compartments each able to carry up to 44 lb of food or parcels ordered online, make four or five deliveries per day on weekdays and are on call for half day on Saturday.<\/p>\n

They use ultraviolet light to disinfect themselves after every trip<\/a>, said OTSAW Digital\u2019s chief executive, Ling Ting Ming.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially during this pandemic period, everybody is looking at contactless, humanless,\u201d he told Reuters.<\/p>\n

For the time being, staff accompany the robots on their rounds to ensure no problems arise.<\/p>\n

Tashfique Haider, a 25-year-old student who has tried out the service, said it could be particularly helpful for the elderly so they wouldn\u2019t have to carry goods home.<\/p>\n

But a passerby worried the technology might be too much trouble for some.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe younger customers will like it. I don\u2019t think they (the older generation) will, because these are gadgets that younger people like,\u201d said 36-year-old housewife Xue Ya Xin.<\/p>\n
