2023年4月29日,一個獨特的食品外賣機器人楊百翰大學校園(楊百翰大學)。機器人之間協作本傑明·特裏的楊百翰大學教授和一個叫做CAYTU機器人機器人啟動。這些機器人獨特的轉折是他們將由運營商坐在一個國家在非洲大陸很遠的地方。CAYTU機器人,在達喀爾,塞內加爾,是由一個創業團隊的非洲工程師使用尖端技術實現遠程控製的機器人在世界任何地方。楊百翰大學的發射CAYTU交付的飛行員是創業的一個重要裏程碑。機器人將被用於運載食品從各種校園就餐地點直接向學生和工作人員。服務預計將非常受歡迎,尤其是在用餐高峰時間,當學生們希望避免繁忙的就餐體驗。在第一階段的推廣,所選的測試組學生將能夠把他們的訂單通過CAYTU應用,他們的食物由機器人。Sidy Ndao CAYTU聯合創始人兼首席執行官,說:“最令人興奮的一個方麵CAYTU的技術是能夠實現遠程控製的機器人在世界任何地方。“運營商誰將控製機器人在楊百翰大學是建立在達喀爾,塞內加爾這個國家有複興的發展近年來高科技創業公司。運營商利用先進的軟件和控製係統來引導機器人穿過校園,避免障礙,確保及時、高效提供食物。 Prof. Terry’s involvement in the project brings an added layer of academic value to the launch. As a robotics professor, Professor Terry is using the data collected from the robots’ delivery operations to better understand human-robot interactions. By studying how the robots navigate the campus, interact with students and staff, and perform their delivery tasks, Prof. Terry and his team seek to gain valuable insights into the design and functionality of autonomous robots. CAYTU is backed by investors Wuri Ventures and Orange Senegal. Tijan Watt, partner, Wuri Ventures, says: “Africa has so many talented people in the diaspora returning to their home countries and bringing their technical skills back home. Sidy is a multiple patent holder and strong innovator with whom we are thrilled to be able to partner. “His experience as a leader in Robotics across the African continent through the Pan-African Robotics Competition over the past five years has supported the idea that he is uniquely suited to launch a robotics company. This signals the promise of African participation in deep technology development which is a focus of our investing at Wuri Ventures.” CAYTU’s work with BYU is just the beginning for the startup. The company has ambitious plans to expand its services to other universities and campuses around the world, with the ultimate goal of creating a global network of autonomous delivery robots that can be controlled by operators sitting in this small African nation, providing valuable high tech jobs and enabling greater levels of African participation in Robotics and AI. The introduction of CAYTU’s food delivery robots at BYU is a testament to the power of innovative technology and cross-cultural collaboration. As the startup continues to grow and expand its services, it has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about food delivery, logistics, human-robot interactions, and the future of work.
