MIAMI, Fla. — It's a story Central Floridians will only see on Spectrum News 13. We are discovering the new way of receiving your next meal.
Get this… It’s a robot.
To give you the sneakiest of peaks, we just got back from Miami, where the technology is launching and will soon be coming to our neighborhoods.
Look out for REEF Robots. They're quite cute and they are autonomous.
Wait, what? Yep. The GPS-driven robots carry take-out food. Food is loaded into the lil' guys at vessels. The vessels resemble food truck parks, as the num nums are prepared with proximity in mind in order to get you your food faster than anyone else.
But where are these parks? They might not be in your usual food truck spaces. Instead, these vessels are utilizing places like parking lots, and beautifying them.
It's an app-based delivery system, but if you happen upon the vessels and want food now, just walk up and scan and hang out on the picnic benches until your grub arrives. (Yep, humans do that part.)
Miami has it going on. Orlando is next. Then Tampa. A spokesperson says it's a matter of a few weeks for the City Beautiful to get the 'bots, and a month or two for the Bay area.
