Real Life Robotics

Real Life Robotics is excited to announce the official launch of their flagship delivery robot platform, BUBS, as part of a pilot project at the Toronto Zoo this summer coinciding with the celebration of the 50th anniversary on August 15th, 2024. This is just one of the projects that the Toronto Zoo has planned as it strives to become one of the most technologically innovative conservation campuses in the world. The new last-mile delivery program is called Zoober, a perfect fit for the robot that will be focused on reducing the costs and emissions associated with the transportation of between 1 to 1.5 tonnes of food per day to animal habitats distributed across 500 plus acres surrounded by Rouge National Park - currently done using traditional fossil fuel based transport. The zoo’s goal is to achieve Net Zero emissions by the year 2030. Projects such as this reflect a broader change across North America, as municipalities and organizations with large campuses, like the Toronto Zoo, recognize the need for more environmentally and economically sustainable delivery solutions, such as autonomous and remotely operated last-mile delivery #robots. Over the past six months, there has been an explosion in #AI and #robotics technology across Ontario as innovative and forward-thinking organizations like the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN), Ontario Centre of Innovation, and Area X.O have championed for the creation of living lab environments in support of smart city planning. These labs allow both regulators and private companies to evaluate, study, and commercialize the products, services, and processes that require innovation to accommodate for the increased flow and access to goods demanded by today’s market. Partners on this project include Bell Business through its 5G Developer Program, providing 5G connectivity and management tools. These tools will be used to test, design, and deploy autonomous solutions that use real-time data and actionable insights to improve the management of fleets, assets, supply chains, buildings, sites, and municipal operations across #Canada.

In case you were wondering 😁

How To Win A Pitch Competition Without Actually Winning the Pitch Competition..... This might sound a bit crazy but last week Real Life Robotics was fortunate enough to be 1 of the 6 startups selected to participate in Communitech's Fast Track Cities pitch competition for a total of $50K in prize money and while we were not successful in winning any of the prize money awarded by the judges here are a few things I did in advance of the event to ensure that I walked away with a few guaranteed wins for our team. ⚡Practice Your Lightning Strike⚡ A community of generally growth-minded people has gathered to discuss a specific challenge and how technology can offer a solution. This is your unique opportunity to test your ability to hijack the room with a story, showcase the value of your solution, and treat the event like an exciting product launch. 🌐Create Buy-In Using Network Effect🌐 If you are confident enough in your pitch and can get "lighting" to strike then this is a rare opportunity for you to invite specific stakeholders, supportive collaborators, and leads into the same room for the network effect to do its thing. Turn warm leads into hot leads by letting them see the magic for themselves. 📷Step And Repeat📷 This is a no-brainer but you've got an audience, a stage, and an opportunity to capture the exact "lightbulb moment" that people opt into your ecosystem. Take full advantage of it, put in the extra 5 minutes, and try to aim for that WOW factor on camera. ------------------------------------------------------------------ The winners of this pitch competition were extremely indicative of the level of innovation coming out of the province of Ontario and a heartfelt congratulations to them all.

Nice to see #BUBS on Wevolver The Real Life Robotics story is really picking up steam. Reach out if you want to discuss your #automation journey.

Great job Sharif Virani and Cameron Waite in presenting #BUBS at the Canadian Food Innovation Network #FoodTechNext program showcase #BUBS stole the show and delivered fresh burgers from local restaurant Burgers n' Fries Forever to the hungry attendees #robotsarecool #foodinnovation #restauranttech

We're super proud to partner with the Canadian Food Innovation Network in helping shape the future of #robotics delivery in Canada! We're going to put #restaurant operators in more control of their businesses from #ClicksToRips. Expect to see a lot more of #BUBS in a neighborhood near you! #robotsarecool #innovation #lastmiledelivery #restauranttech

#BUBS sure does get around. With so many companies struggling to find #labour these days it's great to know there's a customizable #Robotics platform that can help bridge the gap. If your business struggles to #transport product and services indoors or outdoors, we can help. www.realliferobotics.com
