I have not been, but how is this different from lockers with electronic locks? I don't consider that anything resembling a robot.

- abawany 7y agoThere are two aspects to the pickup tower: 1) Entering/scanning an order number causes the robot to fetch the packages (plural) in question and deliver to an area for the recipient to pickup. This has the effector/sensors that you mention above. 2) Entering/scanning an order number causes the robot to tell the recipient to go to a given locker and it also pops open said locker. When the recipient picks up the packages from the locker and closes the same, the main screen acknowledges the pickup. If I appear to be gushing, it is because I am darned impressed by this thing. I am not kidding when I say that it works very well. I found a video that hopefully demonstrates the technology better than my stilted write-up above: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71pgd-LzzXc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71pgd-LzzXc .
- OnlineGladiator 7y agoAh, the video helps explain it. At first I only saw pictures of the overflow lockers. Well regardless of whether or not it's a robot (I would argue it is), it passes the most important test: it does something useful and users love it (going by your testimony as a single data point)!
