Robots are being used on campuses in the United States. Parcels, food delivery and groceries can be taken by 100 pound robots owned by Starship. They are used at a variety of stores to deliver in places like UCLA where I recently visited and have been increasingly used on campuses throughout the U.S.A. They operate at a fraction of the cost of normal delivery .

The items are delivered at the time the customer requests by way of a mobile app.

They navigate around people and objects.

The robots are electrically powered so they are green and clean.

Creating value from recovering unused food and agricultural surplus.

Extracta has developed innovative technology and processes that harness the goodness from fresh crop waste, transforming it into high-quality natural ingredients suitable for a range of uses – from nutraceuticals and cosmetics to food products. These innovations not only help to minimise crop waste for Australian agriculture businesses but also introduce exciting new ‘value-add’ natural ingredients for manufacturers to meet increasing consumer demand for natural products and ingredients. All of that by keeping the logistical footprint to a minimum by relocating the processing plant to where the masses of processable materials are located. https://extracta.com.au/
