It'll work eventually. The robots need enough smarts / maneuverability to be able to avoid danger or outpace violent pedestrians.
As is the current units are too slow and passive because they can't assess their environment very well.

Starship Technologies has a similar robot that's been operating in the UK since March: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Technologies

Mount a keg with a hose to the couch. Actually, forget the couch. Maximize alcoholism.

You can literally get a “backpack” that follows you around. It’s just stupid expensive and could be replaced with…well, a backpack. Could see it being useful if you have a disability though.

Aye, but that's when the site is clean and flat before anything starts happening. What I assume original commenter was meaning these things delivering construction supplies through the construction of a project, which means object moving around every day and a 3D environment with holes and trenches being dug and ramps and elevators etc.

Theyre already using similar on sites to spray paint the construction plans on the building lot

I can't imagine construction sites would be a great environment for these. No construction site is the same as the next so you would have to map it out each time for the vehicle, and they aren't exactly static or clean most of the time. Lots of obstructions popping up each day or changing pathways.

Might be a thing already in Japan. A friend stayed in a hotel that had a robot wandering the halls and I think it could give you candy.
