Now, nonetheless, since of complaints of citizens of interference with their motion on sidewalks, the venture has been suspended. The 6-wheeled robot, Yandex Rover, is geared up with cameras and sensors that help it in determining what is happening all around it and in navigation.

“Mapping the streets of the metropolis in a robotic pilot scheme by Yango Deli was authorized by the Ministry of Transport issue to acceptance by the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality. For now, the Municipality has halted this activity in order to take a look at how it operates and its suitability to the city’s infrastructure,” the Tel Aviv Municipality mentioned in response.

Our robots only function in streets in which there is adequate room so that they will not disturb pedestrians, and of course they are ‘green’ and save electrical power. Cooperating with the Municipality, as we have carried out up to now, we regard the request to halt the exercise until finally it is brought again for joint dialogue as planned.”
