Innovation in delivery and advertising, hand in hand! 🤖🙌 #robotdelivery #advertising #oohadvertising #robotadvertising
Something is cooking Inter&Co at Uber Eats food delivery robots 🤖 Did you know that there are about 3,000 bots delivering food in America and Japan? These robots zip along at around 5 km/h (3.3 mph) and serve from 10am to 10pm in selected cities. They're “civilized” bots, cruising along sidewalks and stopping when you want to pass. If you've been to Brickell or West Hollywood, you've probably bumped into one of these charming robots. Some even have lights shaped like hearts - cute, right? When it comes to innovation, walking the talk is a must. As a big believer in alternative media these days, to truly connect with consumers, you have to be where they are in real life: ordering food, which is a reality for 6 out of 10 people on earth. *the photo is not the best as I received from a friend, we are going to market in the next few days 🔜 #Innovation #InterCo #UberBots #AlternativeMedia Cartken

Developing advanced robotic solutions is challenging. Bringing them to market is just as demanding. Yesterday, our Co-Founder and CTO, Jonas Witt, spoke to a crowd of robotics enthusiasts, startup founders, and engineers. 🤖 He detailed Cartken's journey in navigating the unpredictable technological, logistical, and regulatory obstacles to build scalable robot operations around the world. We appreciate ROS Germany and Intel Ignite for the platform to share our story! #robotics #deliveryrobots #innovation #roboticsolutions

2023/2024 Academic Year Recap: What a Ride! 🚀 Our robots have been busy bees, delivering food to students and setting new records! ✅ Delivered over 224K orders – that's a 73% increase from last year. 🌎 Traveled 350K miles – the equivalent of circling the Earth 14 times. 🧑🎓 Served an average of 2,000 students every week. A big shoutout to our incredible partners Grubhub, Aramark, The Ohio State University, University of Arizona, and California State University, Bakersfield for revolutionizing campus dining with us. Let's make 2024/2025 even more spectacular! 🎉 #campusdelivery #campusdining #robotdelivery #foodservice

Self-driving cars have always been five years away—for at least 20 years now. 😉 But this time, it’s different. Now, we are seeing the first real-world applications of fully autonomous vehicle technology gaining commercial traction. Our Co-Founder and CEO, Christian Bersch, being among the first pioneers working on self-driving technology in the early 2000s, shares his view on the field, how it evolved, and where it's headed in the next 5 years. What are your predictions for the future of self-driving technology? Comment below! 👇💬 Thanks, Tech.eu for the platform and the awesome panelists for their insights on AI innovation in Europe: Bálint Várkuti from CereGate, Andreas Brenner from Jua.ai, and Ludwig Ensthaler from 468 Capital. #TechEU #techeusummit24 #AI #selfdrivingvehicles #robotics

Great discussions on AI innovation at the Tech.eu summit! Thank you, 468 Capital, for bringing us together. 🎤
Diving into “AI innovation beyond Big Tech” at Tech.eu summit, 468 General Partner Ludwig Ensthaler hosted a panel yesterday with Cartken’s Christian Bersch, CereGate’s Bálint Várkuti and Jua.ai’s Andreas Brenner. The panel looked at how Europe is a hotbed of innovation - especially at the early stage - and what the next few years will mean for the continent, including the exponential growth we can expect to see in the AI for 3D world. With Cartken using AI to pioneer autonomous robot deliveries, CereGate developing new ways of interfacing with the human brain, and Jua.ai building the world’s first AI foundation model for the natural world, the trio of founders showed how we can transcend “hype” and deliver tangible value, and why AI is poised to impact not just the digital but also the physical world. Thanks to Tech.eu for organising a great event, and thanks to everyone who attended!
