"Coco insisted that this was a 'rare, isolated incident' and that it was launching an investigation into how the crash happened. 'This is the first time one of our robots has collided with a structure like this.'"
"'Our robots operate at a top speed of about 5 miles per hour, and safety is a top priority in how we design and monitor our systems,' Carl Hansen, Coco's head of safety and government relations, said in the statement."
"'We are reviewing what happened to make improvements,' a Serve Robotics spokesperson said in response to the incident involving their delivery bot."
"Footage posted online shows the Coco bot idling in the mess it made, with glass shards sprinkled across its top."
Delivery robots in Chicago have recently been involved in multiple crashes with glass bus shelters, resulting in shattered glass on sidewalks. The incidents involved robots from different companies, Coco and Serve Robotics. Coco described its crash as a rare occurrence and emphasized safety in its operations. Serve Robotics also acknowledged the incident and stated it is reviewing the situation to implement improvements. The repeated crashes have raised questions about the safety and reliability of these delivery robots in urban environments.
