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

The Kiwibots do not figure out their own routes.
Instead, people in Colombia […] plot “waypoints” for the bots to follow, sending them instructions every five to 10 seconds on where to go.

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.
