One of the easiest shots to take at the delivery bots some of us see trundling around techy cities is that they can’t climb stairs, curbs, or any other minor obstacle that even a slug could handle. I suggested that climbing steps must be, as it is for humans, pretty fatiguing for the robot, expecting the other shoe to drop in the form of a minuscule stair number it can actually get up. Mobinn’s pitch deck also shows that they are working on wheelchair and other mobility options, but so far it seems the delivery bot is the first out the door.
