Many businesses have been greatly affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Because of the lockdown imposed, people are discouraged from going outside to avoid the risk of contracting the dreaded disease. This, however, results in many restaurants closing down, as no customers will come into their establishments.
“The economic impact is huge,” said Johnson-Roberson, an associate professor of engineering at the University of Michigan. “I’m really worried that these restaurants aren’t going to come back.”
This doesn’t have to be the case however. If people can’t go into restaurants to eat, then maybe these restaurants could bring good food to the people through the use of food delivery robots.
Now, in a time of social distancing and Instacart delays, the food delivery robot could finally have a moment.
