I hate to be negative; so I won't. I can't see this being scaleable, profitable or useful at a meaningfully higher level than people.

I agree - it's more like saying something like this may happen in the future so we'll put out a low-end prototype and you let your imagination do the rest. For robotic food delivery to be competitive a lot of things are still missing.

And imagine if it did scale. What an eyesore that would be. Would we count them in the census?

What if they were drones though? Would that be more palatable to the eyes?
