Some thoughts on Deliverbots

We see them in public today, in hospitals, in warehouses, nursing homes, private living grounds. So, already we have a market, probably growing in the 10-20% range. My idea on making this development more efficient.

• The industry should standardize on the short range digital com link, organize some basic common standard for mobility coordination. Promote the low cost telecom on even the smallest of deliver bots
  
• Promote the use of human detectors for safety.
  
• Standardize lane markings for both robots and humans to observe.

Then what we do with it today in the nursing home, we can also do in the gated community or the golf course, with lightweight deliver bots. Then, how far until we can send deliver bot to the neighborhoods, delivering a bag of groceries for a buck?
