Kiwibots win fans at UC Berkeley as they deliver fast food at slow speeds

The Kiwibots do not figure out their own routes.

As with other offshoring arrangements, the labor savings are huge. The Colombia workers, who can each handle up to three robots, make less than $2 an hour, which is above the local minimum wage.
