if someone were to prod one of those little indentations on the bottom front really hard it might do an oopsie, requiring someone to fly out to the restaurant to investigate what was wrong with it

They have a camera and remote human operator, then. So much tech is just facilitating creepshots.

i think of demons posted:while they normally run autonomously, a lot of public space robot companies have remote support so that employees at the end user site do not need to reset things or troubleshoot so yes, absolutely which makes me wonder what happens if they lose network connectivity what are they do then?

Zil posted:which makes me wonder what happens if they lose network connectivity what are they do then? Like demons said, depends on the robot. None of these are running 100% autonomous, there's still some employee or other whose problem it can become. worst comes to it the company sends someone out after a few rounds of "please reset your router" tech support.

i think of demons posted:some can't function without wifi, since important processes are performed on a server and will just go idle. others are fully self-contained, but might have software that allows for coordination between robots or remote support Ah that's no fun. I wanted it to freak out or something and damage itself like that one security robot that threw itself into a fountain.

Here's a dystopia thing I've been thinking about. A retail worker at a store nearby me was laid off because they were putting in more self checkouts. This was going to leave him homeless. He held the managers and store manager hostage in the back for a while before shooting himself. I wonder if increasing automation will end up in more and more cases like this

Yeah that happens, but at least at my store they can have 1 clerk madly running around addressing the issues of 4 self-check kiosks, so they probably still come out ahead. I'm sure banana sales are way up too!

Though with COVID, the calculus for self checkout inconvenience has changed and maybe they’re seen as a value add now.

The super bougie Whole Foods-alike had several self-checkout lines, but they actually pulled them out right before Covid, probably because people are annoyed by them! Or maybe 4011 is even more devastating at places where ground hamburger starts at $7.99/lb. Or it could be because the grocers there are unionized, although that didn't stop the self-checkouts in the first place. Grocery chat is so interesting since everybody does it.

The people who would hate self-checkouts enough to change their shopping behavior are already shopping somewhere else.

Speaking broadly, those things must be heaven to any grey-hat hackers out there. Out of date software, poor security, easy enough to go in a 1am or slip the minder a fiver. Be a shame if they got hosed with on a programatic level as well as the ol' cartful of "bananas" trick.
