Kiwibot 4.0

Kiwibot's fourth-generation sidewalk delivery robot is a semi-autonomous bot with teleoperator oversight and an insulated cargo compartment sized for campus food delivery. There is no consumer price: it is a B2B delivery service, not a robot sold to consumers. On the autonomy spectrum it sits between fully teleoperated and fully autonomous: semi-autonomous with human teleoperator oversight. From Kiwibot, it is at commercial maturity.
