This week we really go the last mile (recording between NZ and Colombia) with one of the heroes of last mile delivery automation, Felipe Chavez, founder and CEO of Kiwibot. Kiwibot is on a mission to build the internet of atoms. In this episode, we dissect what that means, and why you should care about curated + caring bots roaming the streets of our cities.

This interview reveals what's going on behind the walls of a robot company dealing with one of the most important logistics issues of the COVID / 2020s era and what the ideal human-bot interaction may look and feel like.

We explore the topics of:

• Energy, and Kiwibot's drive to be an emission-free robot fleet
• The design philosophy around the form + function of the bots:
• Anthropological considerations in creating robots for society
• That state of last mile food delivery now and into the future
• Impact of the pandemic in the success of Kiwibot
• Data sharing, city data and robot data at large
• Robot + human safety
• Which cities are winning in the adoption of bots + urban innovation

Tune in, share with a buddy who might froth over bots, give us some lurvin' on the ratings ;) and #tiltwithus
