We’ve come a long way from my college days in the early 2000s of waiting in line with plastic trays and meal plans. Now Fairfield University is one of the first campuses in the northeast to start using robots to deliver food to students.
The little white robotic machines will use machine learning, artificial intelleigence, and sensors to make their way around various obstacles. They will be able to cross the street, climb over curbs, and even travel around in the dark for those late night cravings all students have at some point.
The school teamed up with GrubHub and robotics company Starship Technologies to create these little guys. The student will be able to meets the robot at a designated area to get their food, unlocking the bot with their phone to grab their order.
My only question… do you tip the robot?

With the sad news of Queen Elizabeth the II passing yesterday lots of people have been talking about he Royals and their traditions. One of the things that always comes up is why did the Queen have two birthdays?
Her real birthday was in April on the 21st, but then she would celebrate again in the early summer during Trooping the Colour. This tradition started all the way back with King Edward VII. He moved the parade from his actual birthday to the summer when it was warmer. Then the practice just stuck through the years with whomever was on the throne.
King Charles III was born in November so this tradition will work out for him too. Double gifts!
