If you're like me, you long for the day when your robot servant delivers a negroni mixed just the way you like it to your drone, which will then calmly fly the drink across the patio (compliant with all codes of conduct) and into your hand. while resting in his jacuzzi.
We may not be there yet, but this charming little thing is getting pretty close, and it just went on display at CES 2024.
Ottonomy is not a startup. It was founded in late 2020 by Ritukar Vijay, Pradyot Korupolu, Ashish Gupta, and Hardik Sharma, and is based in New York. During the pandemic, Indian e-commerce player Snapdeal used Ottonomy's Ottobots for last-mile delivery, but in 2022 the company raised $3.3 million in seed funding to expand its offering. And this is the kind of expansion I'm here for.
In fact, Ottonomy is introducing two delivery robots at CES: the Ottobot Locker (an L4 autonomous robot and lock box built for localized deliveries; it basically moves items from one place to another in partnership with Harbor Lockers) and the Beverage Dispenser , and therefore it is more interesting. – Improved and fresher Ottobot Brew.
You can see Ottonomy's work in action below, where moving lunch orders around New York shopping malls (and sometimes down the streets) is quickly becoming the norm.
Give me the beer boys and free my soul…
Ottobot Brew is billed as a mobile beverage service, where the grocery container (seen above) or locker is replaced with a chiller and CO2 extraction system from beer cooling specialist Cooler Keg, which can also dispense various carbonated drinks, including “beer.” , cocktails, mocktails and even cold brew coffee.”
But you still can't order a cold one on draft directly to your door. Instead of home delivery, Ottobot Brew is intended for VIP functions, specialty restaurants, hotels, casinos, and other events or hospitality situations. So while Ottonomy doesn't want to sell its drink-carrying robots to the public just yet, in the future you might see an Ottobot Locker passing by you delivering goods, or an Ottobot Brew in a forward-thinking feature.
For those who want a bit of cutting-edge technology at CES, that makes them feel like they're living in the future and like they're living in the future. willpower You'll actually be able to buy, see the amazing transparent LG OLED TV we've spent some time with, officially called the LG Signature OLED T.
