A Dallas-based full-stack developer, James Ambrose Meyer has an established track record as a technological innovator. With computers and computer programming among his areas of extensive knowledge, James Ambrose Meyer maintains an abiding interest in robotics.
One area of current development in robotics involves the use of robots for delivery, both within closed systems and in the real world. Such robotic delivery devices are being designed to address the expensive “last mile” challenge, in which individual packages need to be transported and dropped off at specific locations within a strict timeframe.
One such solution designed to operate in large-scale indoor environments is Segway’s Loomo, a robot that will deliver internal mail across a variety of locations, from production lines to office blocks.
At the same time, a Google engineering team is working on Nuro, a robot with chilled and heated cargo bays that is designed to transport fresh groceries to individual customers. Prototypes are already being tested in Phoenix, which offers grid-like street plans that are ideal for automated deliveries. Another area of intensive R&D is airborne drone delivery of packages, and it is in this sphere that JD.com and Amazon are the early movers.
