The Future of Takeaways In Dubai
Vložit
- čas přidán 9. 05. 2024
- In Dubai, the landscape of takeaway food delivery is rapidly changing. This evolution isn’t just about convenience, it’s a testament to the city’s commitment to innovation and societal progress.
Meet Khalifa Al Qama, the executive director of Dubai Future Labs, and his dedicated team. Their mission? To harness the power of robots in enhancing social and economic well-being for all of humanity. In a world where food and takeaways are integral to our daily lives, their work holds profound significance.
When designing the robot, the pizza box became fundamental in the testing phase. In this week’s video, we’ll see a pizza’s journey from the oven to the front door, guided by a delivery robot. Join us as we explore the intricate workings of the robot, and discover why our future with robotics is something to look forward to.

Would you be weirded out if a robot delivered your food or would you love it? 👀🤖
Fuck Dubai
Hi
Depending on the meal, however, less concern of our meal(s) being abused or crushed in transit with a fairly predictable ETA.
The human interaction and knowing our money circulates for the benefit of who we see at the door is the most valuable aspect of the transaction.
Not really, but I think the issue is disclosure. Like if I'm ordering some fried food from across town I
1.) don't want it delivered by a slow robot, as it won't be crispy anymore by the time it reaches me.
and
2.) In general I don't want to "tip" if the tip doesn't go to the driver. If for example I was buying groceries and someone has to load up the robot I'd tip the loader, but not a non-sentient robot.
I'd be surprised it made it without getting run over
Reminds me of that scene from the movie "Flight of the Navigator" when a kid escapes a government science lab he was being held in to be studied, by hiding inside a little robot machine just like one of these that was meant to carry food to the room they were keeping him in. He climbed inside the bottom part, closed the little door on the front and it wheeled away with him in it. 😂
What a film. What a soundtrack. And a young Sarah Jessica Parker!
I loved that movie! I should watch it again…. 🤔
Compliance!
BEST COMMENT I'VE READ ALL WEEK!!!! Thank you for the nostalgia.
This would be great for large hospitals that need things delivered to patients and what not around the hospital
They have those tubes like at the bank
These have existed for years. I see them in LA constantly and they are evil little things. They hit pedestrians sometimes which is kind of funny but also annoying.
These have been in some places including Milton Keynes for years.
GBS: In Dubai, there is something new on the streets....
Me: A working sewer system ? A fair/regulated employment that abolishes work slaves ? Democracy ? A state-run gender equality movement ?
GBS: No, better, a machine that brings you pizza !
Found the salty insecure jobless man 😂
Dubai has a sewer system now, they've been quietly digging in a piped network over the past two decades. Also while gender equality isn't a priority (as religion prescribes gender roles), there is positive support for "People of Determination" (i.e. those with physical and mental disabilities).
@@doujinflip It's a pity that there isn't protection and equality for LGBT people as well as women.
An underrated comment 👍
@@VenusBijou Hate to break it to you fam, but women in Dubai have a far superior life than most men in the West😊
there are so many instances of wheelchair users sharing how these bots are a danger to them on the sidewalk, even ending ending up with one of them stuck on a crosswalk after the light had changed because a robot was blocking the sidewalk ramp and, unlike someone able-bodied, they couldn't just go around the bot. even if you don't know those testaments offhand, I don't think it takes that much imagination to realize how sidewalk bots can be an accessibility issue. I don't watch these videos for hard-hitting journalism, but I think a more objective look at this topic would have made the video much more interesting and informative. not having the freedom to explore that angle is the price you pay for a sponsored video I guess.
TBH, "But sometimes..." thinking is a real problem.
Mostly because people engage in it in such a selective manner. We shouldn't have these because SOMETIMES it might block a path?
Well, then we certainly shouldn't have airplanes because SOMETIMES they crash and end not only the people on them, BUT SOMETIMES also others.
Not to mention cars, motorcycles, etc.
@@Nevir202 interestingly, that line of thought was the justification for initially not implementing curb ramps! even into the 1980s, "why should we update city infrastructure if a curb might *sometimes* force a disabled person to go halfway around the block in traffic to find a way to get on the sidewalk?" was the government's response to disability activists. of course, we know that curb ramps don't just benefit wheelchair users, they benefit people who use walkers and canes, people lugging suitcases and trolleys, people pushing strollers, and - ironically - sidewalk robots. I highly recommend the documentary "Crip Camp" if you want to educate yourself more about disability rights and how they were won. if not, I think we should end this discussion here.
This is a very valid concern. -- I am disabled and walk with a cane; I can't get around stuff and stop quickly. The guys interviewed here remind me a lot of the visionaries that came before them... and I'm sure that lab will take that into consideration and work with that. They're not trying to reinvent the wheel... rather, they're flexible and understand the challenges that come with robots and human interaction.
I look forward to seeing more from Dubai Future Labs. I get the feeling they're going to be a significant player in the years to come.
I think what you say is valid but we could take a different perspective to it - maybe delivery robot proliferation can help improve disable-friendly infrastructure? If this technology becomes important, it then makes business sense to ensure the surrounding infrastructure supports the robots. And since both wheelchair users and robots require similar ramps and wider pathways, we get a somewhat win-win for both.
@@Nevir202 First of all - your opinion is bad. There are always exceptions that need to be properly addressed. Simply saying "Oh its only SOMETIMES" as why we cannot have nice things is a horrible thing to say. Oh, Boeing's new planes are fine because only "SOMETIMES" they crash. It is extremely important to raise counterpoints. You are stupid because you are advocating for an entire society of "yes men" instead of actual thinkers.
These have been in Los Angeles for years.
same in Mosow
So, this is how Age of Ultron(Marvel) begins...

@@GreatBigStorydo a story on lethal autonomous weapons🦾🤖☣️🔥💀😎👻😭😅😉😉💀
@@GreatBigStoryway to promote a country and city with modern day slavery!
They have these (more or less) on my college campus. They don’t work well
🍔🌆 Excited to see what's cooking in Dubai's takeaway scene! Can't wait to indulge in some tasty treats while enjoying the futuristic vibes of the city!
Glad to know Dubai is diversifying their portfolio with Robot development.
YESSHHH NEW VIDEOO!!!!🎉 But please bring back the ending elements (Human Condition, Flavors, etc.) I miss them. ❤
I have seen these in Stockholm and they also can be seen in Helsinki. They look cute but they are not the fastest.
Yeah these things are all over the UK as well, mostly for local supermarkets. If you just need a few items from a shop it's pretty neat to have a little robot drive them to you for a small fee.
@@Cubeforc3 Is the cargo compartment insulated? I would worry about food getting too warm en route, considering how slow the bots are.
The idea is fun, though!
Future ? They’re years behind. Easily have seen these around my area for 5ish years
its too slow
Yeah, really only practical for short range situations.
@@myladycasagrande863 We’re so far, yet so close. Food delivery cars? who knows
In the near future infrastructure will be built while accomodating these robots so youll have little high speed pathways where only these delivery bots travel from. Think of the doors in monsters incorporated they have a similar design
@@teo-7242 I sincerely doubt that unfortunately. Maybe in that one city they’re building in Saudi Arabia. Even then these are too slow for “the line” or whatever its called
ما شاء الله ، بارك الله بيكم... صراحة من اشوف شباب عربي بنفس الفئة العمرية يحققون مثل هكذا انجازات..ازداد فخرا واعتزازا ويجيني حافز انو احاول اقدم شي جميل مثل عمل هذول الابطال
ماشاءالله يا احلى بلد في العالم ❤
I saw these when i was working in Tempe arizona, around 2019 - 2020. Threw me for a LOOP the first time i saw one.
This is a awesome video good job!
I love robots as much as the next guy, but can it fit a party size pizza!? 🍕
Tldr we need to cut costs and so we don’t want to pay people to deliver goods.
-it is cool tech though.
YESHHHH NEW GREAT BIG STORY VIDEO!!!! 🎉
Robots are cute- until they come for your job.
We already have that in Miami. Specifically in Brickell.
Nice Dubai Ad
What about kiwibot, why they don't deserve their own video??
Well, this isn't a copy of Starship from Estonia at all...
Once they implement AGI into these robots, they will for sure replace most human jobs.
GBS Nice 🤖
That seems conveniant but unnecessary in my opinion.
Dubai is embarassing. They dont develop any of their own technology, they just spend money. The whole place is a facade. These kinds of robots already exist around the world why are we featuring this company for being late to develop something that already exist. Also im betting this is just a front for a chinese manufacturer
I believe that in order for technology to advance, someone needs to invest in it. So, in a way, they are contributing to its development, even if it's just by using the technology.
That’s the latent racism talking Dubai does and are developing technology and are part of global supply chain.
Tbf i don't see any problem in that. Apple does the same, they have never invented anything. They just took what was already being produced and improved upon it.
@@sa34w No, they don't. Check out UAE exports report by the OEC. All they provide to the world is oil and oil derivatives only. Their tech startups employ foreigners. Only their foreign funded universities actually teach engineering programs.
@@jayromasanta8072 You have no idea then how much Apple invents. I don't even know where to start. Just do your own research
This has been in Miami for a while
How is it gonna drive through all that flood?😂
Hey Dubai u got a call from starship in San Francisco California alifornia
To think there would be nothing but desert if these farmers didn't win the location lottery with petrol.
How is that different than any other natural resource?
Dubai hasn't been a major producer for the past 20 or 30 years. It has been relying on tourism as a major part of its economy.
Venezuela has more oil reserves than any other country in the world. The difference is how they use the money from oil
@@cuebal this.
So salty wow!
Its all fun and games until codsworth shows up
That thing wouldn't last 5 second outside the factory if it's built in the US
it shoulf be avle to float & move in water
That's even more impressive than the famous Dubai shit trucks!
İTÜ robotlarımız bin basar🫡
Most probably is a random guy in India driving the robot
This robot is very convenient. 5:17
I hope it can swim
Making propaganda for Dubai, are we?
In my country,
With Inflation, price of food, poor people,
These robots wouldn’t go far:
They would be stolen very fast!
These recent GBS videos reeks of oil
isn't it amazing what we can acomplish with oil and just a smidge of slave labour
Just imagine a pricey bot like that is trying to deliver in an American 'hood' 🙂 .... well, or in any city in the great USA!
What do you think is the chance of that thing coming back to station?
This is literally nothing new? Delivery robots have been a thing for the past couple of years.
Idc about a city that has modern day slavery and shame on you for promoting it!
Έχει φύγει το παιδί
Lol its already exist all over the world
تمرك
Instead of robots use the workers being exploited who continue to build your country and pay them
No, those are just daily commuters, who happen to resemble robots...
Gulf cities are already overcrowded with people and the cars/buses needed to move them around. A robot workforce for simple routines don't require apartments, security checks, or that large of a nearby parking spot.
Story not so great and not so big, but it's a nice ad...
1st
It will only work in an orderly societies ie Dubai
First wtf
No more 4,000 pound cars getting 25mpg to deliver a burrito that can be done with a 50 pound robot that gets 1,000mpgE
Most deliveries are by motorcycle, some of them electric.
@@doujinflip now they'll be done by robots . So I don't have to waste my time bringing you your food anymore
phones are not essential for daily life...
Dubai has literal Chinese and Indian slaves working for them to amass an empire like this. You guys should not be covering anything about them
This is bs pro Dubai propaganda, so bummed this is the path this channel is going.
Do the girl bots need a hijab?
No they don't as they are not humans this honestly sounds kinda islamophobic.
You can never use something like this in the US
Why not? 🫣
It along with the contents inside will be stolen very quickly unfortunately
love all your videos but this one is ridiculous - we have robots like this in Moscow for decades. This is not something like “WOW how great are people in Dubai”, it’s not something unique unless you’re being paid by this company
