This is really interesting! I have seen similar services in other cities, and they seem to be doing well. I wonder how much market demand there is in this space.

From my understanding, there is a lot of venture capital flowing into the robotic delivery space, so market demand must be there. Machine learning and AI is also a key component for robotic food delivery to make it more efficient and accurate. This is definitely an exciting area for full-stack engineers.

The gig economy is here to stay, and robotic delivery services offer a better workplace for these workers. Futuristic but it makes sense.

From what I read in the job posting, the company uses Python, Django, and React. They also mentioned a interest in C++ and ROS for robotics specific tasks.

This is so cool! I'm excited to see robots delivering food. In terms of customer support, I'd love to hear about the training they offer. Will there be any interaction between customer support and the robots themselves?

From what I understood from the job posting, there will be interaction between customer support and the robots, as the customer support team would be the 'middle-man' that assists the customer and the robot to proceed with the delivery. They also mentioned a interest in machine learning for automating certain queries and processes.

Do you think there will be a rise in cyber attacks due to the increased dependence on technology? I wonder how the company is addressing these concerns, if any.

I had the same concern. After reading the job posting, I saw that they mentioned they have a specialized security team that focuses on these sorts of threats, so it sounds like they have a plan in place.
