WASHINGTON — A DC resident helped a delivery robot that got stuck on a tree's roots while traveling down the rocky sidewalk of one Northwest DC neighborhood on Saturday.
Nolan Gray captured the video of the robot as it was stuck. He did help the droid get unstuck, before posting the video, according to this Twitter post.
"Now this is cool: just watched a little delivery robot try (and fail) to navigate the treacherous sidewalks of one of America's richest neighborhoods. Don't worry, I saved the little guy," said Gray in his Tweet.
From Gray's Tweets, he looked to be in Northwest. Part of this area of DC has very wealthy community with-in it.
Delivery robots have become more common in the DMV area, with Starshop Technologies' robots operating in Virginia.
In April, The Fairfax City Economic Development Authority (FCEDA) recently said that Starship Technologies autonomous robots would soon be delivering food, and other items, to customers around town.
The FCEDA mentioned that they hoped the robots could help connect city businesses more directly with local residents during the spread of COVID-19.
