Smartphone use is ubiquitous, especially on college campuses. With nearly every student carrying a smart device with them all the time, it was only a matter of time before colleges began investigating whether mobile IDs could help enhance the student experience. Joe Harting, a leader in campus operations, joined the Focus podcast to discuss what he learned from pioneering Mobile ID for Apple and Android at Northern Arizona University (NAU) as the Director of Campus Operations. NAU's spirit of innovation As one of three major higher ed institutions in the state of Arizona, the NAU Lumberjacks distinguish themselves by embracing innovation and pushing the envelope. After all, NAU was one of the first to introduce autonomous delivery robots with Starship Technologies (https://focus.fireside.fm/402-chrisneider-starship) on their campus. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in 2020, the campus saw even further momentum to find creative solutions that would reduce public face-to-face interactions, increase convenience, and overall enhance the student experience. The right opportunity at the right time In 2018, Harting first partnered with TouchNet to implement a new system for their auxiliary services. Knowing that NAU were open to new ideas, Touchnet approached them with the opportunity to be the first school to pilot OneCard Mobile ID with their popular student ID, the Jacks Card. In NAU student surveys, mobile IDs were the number one requested feature for the NAU Go App. Students who have grown up with mobile devices their entire life expect an app for everything and NAU jumped at the opportunity to deliver what students want. Harting knew he had the right infrastructure already in place with TouchNet and the timing couldn't have been better; the University was especially motivated to bring new and creative ideas to the table during the global pandemic. Putting the pieces in place The first step in the process was putting the budget in place to pay for the new program. Harting found success by presenting mobile IDs as an exciting new technology that could prove disruptive in the market. Harting also embarked on a communications campaign, bringing all stakeholders to the table and building the support necessary to move the project forward. Finally, NAU completed an internal discovery process and mobile readiness assessment with the help of TouchNet. “Touchnet provided us with the initial foundational documentation that was necessary for us to go through our campus, identify what we had in place, and how well positioned we were to introduce this new technology,” said Harting. Overcoming obstacles In implementing the Mobile Jacks Card, NAU had to consider every touchpoint the existing physical card was being used: dining, door access, transportation, recreation, etc. Harting's staff uncovered more than 1,000 places the card could be engaged and had to find suitable alternatives where mobile IDs couldn't be easily applied like when the Rec Center held a student ID in exchange for renting sports equipment. In some cases, the Mobile ID proved to be an even better solution than what the physical Jacks Card could provide. NAU also engaged a dedicated communications specialist from the beginning trained in change management and ADKAR (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability and Reinforcement). This specialist helped streamline the transition process through strategic messaging. Their efforts were backed by extensive focus group testing to help ensure the provisioning process was easy for students. Measuring success In a post-launch poll, 70 percent of NAU students gave the Mobile Jacks Card five stars out of five. More than 90 percent rated their satisfaction with three stars or more. Additionally, mobile IDs solved the problem of logistics issues and bottlenecks issuing IDs at the start of the school year. While physical IDs are still available, NAU is taking a “mobile first” approach, encouraging students to create their mobile IDs at orientation, making it one less thing students need to worry about when they come to campus as an official Lumberjack. No more long lines to get student ID pictures taken or pick up the printed ID. An unexpected positive consequence of mobile IDs, NAU also saw increased participation in meal plans and campus transactions. Since students are never without their phone, they're never without their ID. “I've been fortunate to be a part of many, many, many projects and initiatives here throughout my 20 year career at NAU,” said Harting. “And I really have to say, this was, this has got to be in the top two or three, if not number one projects. It took a lot of time and energy and effort, but it was absolutely worth it.” The future of Mobile ID “As exciting and novel and as new as something like a mobile ID card is, I think, eventually, it's going to become [a matter of] making sure that your institution shows that you understand what student expectations are,” said Harting. “And that we are dynamic, innovative here and willing to deliver those experiences.” While mobile IDs may become business as usual across campuses, NAU is already looking at what comes next. Harting sees mobile ID as a way to create additional revenue opportunities – not just on campus, but also at local retailers, restaurants, movie theaters and more. Ideally, mobile IDs can be a catalyst to incentivizing those retailers to provide student discounts and rewards programs.

The idea of autonomous vehicles delivering products straight to our door may not sound novel, but there are not a lot of examples of that level of the last yard or meter delivery in practice right now. Ten years from now, the practice of doing this will be commonplace. There are approximately one hundred and forty million households in the US and over 10,000 major cities worldwide. To do this with autonomous vehicles to a universe of large destinations is inherently complex, but we have to start doing this somewhere now where the environment is somewhat representative of a wider world of moving bodies, other modes of transport, and some levels of unpredictability.
Chris shares all about Starship's autonomous delivery robots that are taking over campuses and creating more convenience for students and visitors. Why higher ed institutions are the perfect fit Although it seems like it might be easy for little robots to get lost in the big world of a higher ed campus, delivery robots have flourished at universities and colleges. Campuses are the perfect combination of a defined geographic location with a dense concentration of 18-22-year-olds, the age group most likely to intuitively understand the technology and be excited to use it. While colleges and universities are not the only place Starship's robots have taken over, Neider reveals that it's one of the places where they've seen the best results. How do they work? Starship Technologies deploy robots on campuses, driving them around the chosen campus to learn roads, shortcuts, and possible obstacles to build a map for efficient use. Once the map is created, the robots are ready for action. They are equipped with cameras that throw out vectors to help navigate areas and measure distance. The robots can also “call home” if it encounters an issue with the route. An operator can help the robot find an alternative route and be on its way again. The robots travel at around four and a half miles per hour, which allows for swift and safe deliveries down sidewalks filled with students. Starship robots cohabitate on campuses with students and faculty, which creates a seamless integration of technology. A seamless student experience As of right now, the main use of Starship robots is to deliver groceries and food items. Users download the Starship app and can see what products are offered and which areas are available for service. Once an order is placed, the robot is on its journey from merchant to customer. Additionally, Starship wanted to make sure that students could really benefit from the robots. So they've integrated with the TouchNet OneCard Campus ID so that students can use their declining balance accounts within the Starship app. Students can use the balance stored on their campus ID just like other payment methods such as a debit card to have the robots deliver from campus restaurants and other places where campus ID payments are accepted. This customized user interface makes the robots more accessible to students, and keeps students spending money on campus, which maintains revenue streams for institutions. The future rolls forward Starship believes robots enhance the future of higher ed institutions. Not only do they allow for better student experiences, they also create excitement for prospective students. Potential students get excited to see the robots while on campus tours and to go to a school with such a high-tech environment. The possibilities of what these robots can roll themselves into are endless, from mobile bookstores and libraries to athletic integrations and more. While these robots have their limitations, primarily doors and stairs, they are quickly showing how smart technology can be in heightened campus experiences. https://www.starship.xyz/ Special Guest: Chris Neider .

Over the past few years, the idea of getting things - anything - delivered directly to your door has grown in popularity. The internet has given us access to goods and services all over the world, while the change in environment has made many of us stay in the house much of the time. To address this altered reality, Ottonomy has developed an exciting line of autonomous robots that can deliver nearly anything straight to your home or office.Who is Ottonomy?Ottonomy, the company behind the world's first autonomous delivery robots, is quickly gaining notoriety in the robotics industry. Its robots are designed to help navigate businesses with staffing shortages for retail and restaurant industries. Their fully autonomous robots can deliver food & beverages, groceries, and packages to curbside, last mile, and even indoor environments. These robots are available on a "RaaS" (Robotics as a Service) model. Their business customers get access to a quicker, safer, and more economical delivery option as compared to traditional 3rd party delivery services. Above all these robots are set to reduce carbon emissions and improve quality of life.Ottonomy's delivery robotsThe Ottonomy robots are designed to deliver food, groceries, packages, and other items directly to a customer's home or office. They have three different robot models - the Ottobot (footprint is slightly smaller than an SUV), Ottobot Mini (for indoor deliveries), and Ottobox (a refrigerated version). The Ottobots have been tested at several locations in Canada including the Toronto Zoo, University of Waterloo, and McMaster Innovation Park. Over 15K pounds of goods have been delivered by Ottonomy robots in Ontario alone.While this particular concept may not be new for some companies - Starship Technologies offers delivery bots that can carry up to 20lbs - few others have managed to actually put their robots into operation. Ottonomy is looking to change that by doing things a bit differently. Ottonomy has taken the time to develop relationships with local businesses in Ontario, Canada as well as with government leaders and regulators. The Ottobots are also great for shorter distances, so they can operate within smaller cities where similar delivery services aren't currently available or viable due to lack of business density and high overhead costs from full-time employees.How is Ottonomy different?Ottonomy partners directly with retailers & restaurants while others work more on the "last mile" segment (i.e., delivering goods from UPS). Restaurants, in particular, have been quick to adopt Ottobots because of the lack of staff during off-peak hours. For example, Ottnomoy has partnered with CVG Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio. Their robots roam the airport autonomously and will stop wherever guests have placed an order to deliver a hot beverage or a meal.SummaryThe Ottobots are currently being piloted at various locations in Canada and CVG Airport in Cincinnati, Ohio, with plans for global expansion soon.

Are food delivery robots just a trend, or do they have the potential to replace humans in the future? In this episode of the Xtalks Food Podcast, Sydney discusses the slow and steady rise of food delivery robots, and how the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated the demand for contactless delivery. She talks about their features, limitations and some of the companies that have ventured into the space. The team share their thoughts about whether they will replace humans and posit that the four-to-six wheeled robots are not just a passing trend. Also, in this episode, Mira talks about a new line of vegan sashimi from the online retailer, distributor and wholesaler, GTFO It's Vegan. Available on the company's website, the new line includes tuna, salmon, sailfish and calamari — just without the fish. While it is not the first vegan sashimi, the company says it has the most extensive line of offerings in the US market. The team wonder who the vegan sashimi's target audience is and whether they would try it.Read the full articles here: How COVID-19 Gave Rise to Food Delivery RobotsGTFO It's Vegan Introduces the Most Extensive Line of Vegan SashimiFor more food and beverage industry content, visit the Xtalks Vitals homepage.Follow Us on Social Media Twitter: @XtalksFood Instagram: @Xtalks Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Xtalks.Webinars/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/xtalks-webconferences YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/XtalksWebinars/featured

I grew up with the original Star Trek series, and even today, as I am now on my 65th revolution around the sun, I still dream of traveling in space. Each week we will explore rapidly converging technologies and advancements, which will radically change our lives. At times, the topics may sound like something out of a science fiction novel, but each area that we explore is already well on its way of becoming a reality over the next couple of decades. To keep with our theme of “Ask Gramps,” I will put our weekly topics in the form of a question to get us on track. This week's question is - “Hey Gramps, there has been robotics used in factories for years helping to streamline manufacturing. How soon will robotics be a major impact in the retail sector?” The Robots Are Coming! For our episode today, I am using some information from Peter Diamandis's blog and newly released book “The Future is Faster Than You Think.” The robots are coming! On our sidewalks, in our skies, in our every store… Over the next decade, robots will enter the mainstream of retail. The numbers back it up: in the last eight years, the global retail robotics market is projected to grow by order of magnitude, from $4.78 billion in 2018 to $41.67 billion in 2026. As countless robots work behind the scenes to stock shelves, serve customers, and deliver products to our doorstep, the speed of retail will continue to increase. These changes were already underway, and the pandemic has accelerated them. Let's dive in... Robot DeliveryOn August 3rd, 2016, Domino's Pizza introduced the Domino's Robotic Unit, or “DRU” for short. The first home delivery pizza robot, the DRU looks like a cross between R2-D2 and an oversized microwave. LIDAR and GPS sensors help it navigate, while temperature sensors keep hot food hot and cold food cold. Now called “DOM” (which is also the name of Domino's chatbot for placing orders), the robot has been undergoing trial runs in ten countries, including New Zealand, France, and Germany. The August 2016 debut was critical, as it was the first time we'd seen robotic home delivery. It won't be the last. A dozen or so different delivery bots are fast entering the market. Starship Technologies, for instance, a startup created by Skype founders Janus Friis and Ahti Heinla, has a general-purpose home delivery robot. Right now, the system is an array of cameras and GPS sensors. Still, upcoming models will include microphones, speakers, and even the ability to communicate with customers via AI-driven natural language processing. Since 2016, Starship has already carried out 500,000 deliveries across more than 20 countries. Along similar lines, Nuro—co-founded by Jiajun Zhu, one of the engineers who helped develop Google's self-driving car—has a miniature self-driving car of its own. Half the sedan's size, the Nuro looks like a toaster on wheels, except with a mission. This toaster was designed to carry cargo—originally about 12 bags of groceries — which it has been doing for...
In this podcast, it's all about complicated things and my guest masters them all: IoT, Robotics, AI and customer acquisition. Ahti Heinla is former founding engineer of Skype and now runs Starship Technologies as Founder and CTO. In this podcast we talk about * Robotics as the coolest thing to build as an engineer * How I stopped one of his Robots in Hamburg * The hard things about robots
Martin Rand has been an entrepreneur for many years. He was a product manager at Skype, created VitalFields (which he later sold to Monsanto) and now, is the founder and CEO of Pactum. Pactum is an AI-based system that helps global companies to autonomously offer personalized, commercial negotiations on a massive scale. The system adds value and saves time for both the Pactum client and their negotiation partner by aligning their values to determine win-win agreements via an easy-to-use chat interface that implements best-practice negotiation strategies. The web-based tool's applications range from supplier negotiations for online marketplaces to enterprise and retail procurement negotiations. Pactum is currently working with Walmart to renegotiate contracts and has been signed on as a partner with DocuSign. The company is based in Mountain View with engineering and operations in Estonia. It's backed by founders of Skype and TransferWise and built by luminaries from Skype, Starship Technologies, and the Government of Estonia's e-Residency program. But all are agreed on Pactum's vision of artificial intelligence, improving business relationships while safeguarding humanity with ethical AI. Pactum is particularly useful in the current situation, as companies are losing money and needing to renegotiate contracts. Pactum saves money for retailers while also getting the best deals for vendors- all without human interaction on the company's side.

欢迎收听丽莎老师讲机器人,想要孩子参加机器人竞赛、创意编程、创客竞赛的辅导,找丽莎老师!欢迎添加微信号:153 5359 2068,或搜索微信公众号:我最爱机器人。丽莎老师讲机器人之某饮料巨头在美国试用机器人送货。1月3日,百事公司在加利福尼亚州斯托克顿市(Stockton)的太平洋大学(the University of the Pacific)推出了它的“零食机器人”(snackbot)。这是百事公司首次采用送货机器人。旧金山湾区的创业公司Robby Technologies设计了百事公司使用的这种六轮机器人。它配置了全轮驱动系统、前大灯和内置摄像头,能处理路沿和陡峭的山坡等不同地形。目前,从上午9点至下午5点,太平洋大学的学生和员工们可以通过零食机器人的应用程序订购食品饮料。每个零食机器人充一次电可以行驶20英里(约等于32公里),它们会将订单送到175英亩校园内的50多个地点之一。这些零食机器人送的货品,都由百事公司的自动售货品牌Hello Goodness提供,包括菲多利旗下的SunChips零食和星巴克冷萃咖啡等产品。百事公司是目前为数不多使用这一科技的食品饮料巨头,它的加入,一定程度上代表了行业未来的发展趋势。在百事公司之前,其实已经有很多小公司开始尝试这一业务。2017年3月,Starship Technologies公司的外卖机器人开始代替部分人类快递员,为按需递送的初创企业DoorDash配送食物。DoorDash使用的这种小型自驾车机器人,从加州红木城的餐馆中领取食物,然后为方圆3.2公里内的顾客送餐。与百事公司使用的机器人一样,DoorDash使用的也是六轮机器人。伦敦的机器人公司Starship Technologies称,这种机器人可以相对轻松地穿过硅谷的街区、并在15到30分钟内完成送餐任务。如果有人试图盗走这些六轮机器人,系统会自动发出警报。这种重约13.5公斤、装备有GPS系统的机器人对“绑架者”的吸引力有限,因为里面值钱的东西只有墨西哥卷饼。中国市场上,饿了么未来物流团队也于2017年10月首次在上海虹桥万科中心使用了外卖机器人。这个名为“万小饿”的机器人代替外卖小哥完成办公楼宇内的“最后一公里”。考虑到楼宇内错误复杂的配送环境,“万小饿”安装的路线感应器,会根据送餐目的地自动设置路线,保证在配送场景中的安全性。外卖机器人虽然诞生的时间不长,但已经引发了一些争议。在以科技创新闻名的美国加州,人们习惯带着批判的眼光看待这个新事物。今年5月,旧金山的城市监督人Norman Yee提出立法,希望禁止使用无人汽车外送食品或其他产品,因为担心它们可能成为老年人、儿童和残疾人的障碍。由此看来,百事公司选择先在太平洋大学的校园里投放零食机器人,算是比较谨慎的做法。
Apple's new MacBook Air, Mac Mini, and iPad Pro come out with mixed reviews. Apple Music looks to partner and/or buy I Heart Media. A foldable phone from Royole beats both Samsung and Huawei to market. Starship Technologies will soon be sending packages via robot delivery vehicles. Today's podcast cast includes: Marie Pardo-Garber, Caleb Denison, Adrien Warner, and Greg Nibler.
A new law in Arizona, United States, has allowed self-driving robots to use sidewalks and crosswalks to deliver goods. Starship Technologies invented the robots, which use sensors to navigate sidewalks and cross streets. These robots can deliver mail, food, groceries, and other small items straight to people's homes within 15 to 30 minutes. Previously, motorized vehicles like delivery robots were prohibited from roaming Arizona's sidewalks. But under the new law, the robots will have the same rights and responsibilities that people have in terms of using sidewalks. However, delivery robots need to have insurance and are required to follow a speed and weight limit. Additionally, they need to obey traffic rules and properly use crosswalks. Despite the safety regulations, many Arizona residents are still worried about the potential dangers that the robots may pose. One resident fears that the robots can run into people, and vice versa. Another resident is concerned that people may lose their jobs to the self-driving robots. However, Starship Technologies spokesperson Henry Harris-Burland said that the robots will not be fully autonomous. He further explained that there will be employees assigned to operate the robots to ensure safety. More companies are now exploring the potential of autonomous delivery devices. One of which is Ele.me, an online delivery company in China. It has recently been allowed to use drones to deliver food. Unlike the delivery robots, the drones can pick up and drop off orders in fixed areas. According to Ele.me, using the drones will help cut down the company's operating costs and will make deliveries much faster.
The robots are here and one company, Starship Technologies, has raised $25 million to bring even more to the mainstream. This latest round of funding includes a follow-on investment from Matrix Partners and Morpheus Ventures. New investors include Airbnb co-founder Nathan Blecharczyk, Skype founding engineer Jaan Tallinn and others. These autonomous robots can carry items, like groceries or packages, within a two-mile radius.
On this episode of Expanded Perspectives the guys start the show off talking about how recently a man named Chris Bertish has become the first person to cross the Atlantic Ocean on a paddle board. This was no ordinary paddleboard. Bertish, a big-wave surfer and sailing enthusiast, worked with naval architect Phil Morrison to create a custom-built 20-foot vessel with a tiny cabin and an even tinier sleeping berth. That’s where he stashed GPS equipment, a satellite weather system, radios, a satellite phone, and an autopilot system. On top of the craft they installed solar panels to keep all those gadgets charged, and Bertish also kept an emergency kit—complete with a life raft and flares—nearby just in case. He also had shark repellant handy, because, well, sharks are scary. The whole getup cost over $120,000 to build. Miraculously, the 42-year-old South African paddled his way from Morocco to Antigua, alone, in just 94 days. That’s 4,500 nautical miles of unassisted and unsupported ocean-faring. Then, A University of Nebraska senior, Brevan Jorgenson, shelled out a mere $700 for open source software that he used to turn his vehicle into a self-driving car. Jorgenson was an early beta-tester for the ucomma.ai, an ultimately unsuccessful company that had hoped to make autonomous driving affordable and easy to apply to any car. While fortune did not side with ucomma.ai, it seems to have smiled upon Jorgenson, who was able to utilize what he knew to let his car drive itself on the freeway. Then, a popular diving site filled with spectacular coral reefs has been severely damaged in West Papua, New Guinea, after a British-owned cruise ship got caught in low tide and slammed into it. Because of this, It could take years for the reefs to bounce back, and tha may never regain what they originally looked like. Local officials want the company to pay for the damage. The coral reefs are located at Raja Ampat, an Indonesian island chain. On March 4, a 295-foot-long, 4,290-ton ship called the Caledonian Sky ran aground along a stretch of beach, damaging the pristine reefs below. Then, Virginia has made robotics history. The commonwealth is the first state to pass legislation allowing delivery robots to operate on sidewalks and crosswalks across the state. The new law goes into effect on July 1 and was signed into law by the governor last Friday. The two Virginia lawmakers who sponsored the bill, Ron Villanueva and Bill DeSteph, teamed up with Starship Technologies, an Estonian-based ground delivery robotics company, to draft the legislation. Robots operating under the new law won’t be able to exceed 10 miles per hour or weigh over 50 pounds, but they will be allowed to rove autonomously. The law doesn’t require robots to stay within line of sight of a person in control, but a person is required to at least remotely monitor the robot and take over if it goes awry. Robots are only allowed on streets in a crosswalk. After the break Cam brings up some strange encounters experienced by outdoorsman. Thanks for listening and supporting Expanded Perspectives!

Small UAS registration is proceeding in the U.S., but AMA says to hold off, package delivery robots, drone registration in the Bahamas, security drones chase thieves, the FAA gets tough with states legislating drones. News sUAS Registration The FAA sUAS registration website is open for operators of small UAS intended for non-commercial use. Reportedly, 45,000 registrations were filed in the first two days. FAA-2015-7396-0001 (Registration and Marking Requirements for Small Unmanned Aircraft) asks for public comments on the December 21, 2015, Interim Final Rule. Comments must be received by January 15, 2016. Also, 8900.338 - New Requirements for Registering and Marking Small Unmanned Aircraft. Document Information was issued and is primarily directed to Flight Standards District Office (FSDO) aviation safety inspectors (ASI) and assigned sUAS focal points. That document links to Notice: New Requirements for Registering and Marking Small Unmanned Aircraft [PDF] which informs Flight Standards Service field employees about the new requirements for the registration and marking of small unmanned aircraft found in Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 47 and 48. It also addresses surveillance, investigation and enforcement issues: ASIs should be prepared to support sUAS activity within their area of geographic responsibility. The use of Risk-Based Decision Making and compliance philosophy, along with current practice and procedures, should be used to support proper surveillance and vigilance over sUAS operations and the NAS. During the conduct of accident, incident, occurrence, and complaint investigations involving sUAS, ASIs will ensure that the unmanned aircraft meet the compliance requirements for registration and marking. ASIs shall use the guidance published in FAA Notice 8900.313, Education, Compliance, and Enforcement of Unauthorized Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operators, and Order 8000.373, Federal Aviation Administration Compliance Philosophy, on the process of contact, education, and enforcement generally to be provided to individuals who are the subject of investigations involving sUAS aircraft. You can find your local FSDO office at the FAA FSDO Contact page that will provide you with the address, phone, and office web page. An alternative to drones: Company testing self-driving ‘Roomba-like' delivery robots Two former Skype co-founders launched Starship Technologies, a European company that plans to introduce a fleet of ground-based delivery robots. According to the company press release, the robots can carry “the equivalent of two grocery bags, the robots can complete local deliveries within 5-30 minutes from a local hub or retail outlet, for 10-15 times less than the cost of current last-mile delivery alternatives.” All Drones Must Be Registered By February The Bahamian Department of Civil Aviation and the Ministry of Transport announced that effective February 1, all drones must be registered. Compliance is required by the end of February. This announcement is in advance of a bill that will regulate the use of unmanned aircraft in the Bahamas. FAA OKs drone-like copter for farm use The FAA issued a Part 137 Agricultural Aircraft Operations Certification to Yamaha Motor Corporation, U.S.A. The Yamaha RMAX remotely piloted helicopter has a takeoff weight of around 200 pounds. Spraying operations are subject to approval by state and local authorities but are expected to begin in 2016. Almost 2,600 RMAX helicopters are currently in use globally, over two million flight-hours have been logged, and more than 2.4 million acres are sprayed each year.
