Receiving & Researching Robotics

I'm sure it's proprietary and a lot of it is still being implemented and tested, but seems scary on the receiving side and pretty cool on the researching side.

Of course we are in the day and age of cars driving & parking themselves combined with delivery drones, so...

What happens if a dog takes out the delivery drone? These things are cool in concept, but have little real world applicability at the moment, IMHO (as always).

Free drone parts. Easy.

But let's not get sidetracked. The receiving & research robots at PSA are real and being implemented as we speak.

L A S E R S. If they can put them on sharks they can put them on delivery drones.

I think it would be cool to be able to sell something large on eBay. Put it in my car trunk. Have my car drive to the customers house and unlock the trunk with the customer on the trunk cam so they can unload. Then drive back home. Ya know, like without me in the car. It would be similar to one of those amazon lockers.

That's 80's technology! 😉

But yes, the robotic research thing is in effect:

Robots? Why not? They're taking dogs for walks these days.
