A sidewalk deployment error caused several Coco robots to reroute simultaneously as they were leaving their station at the start of their daily routes, resulting in a temporary cluster. That&#8217;s not how our robots are designed to operate, and we understand the disruption it caused. Our team identified and corrected the issue quickly, and the robots were cleared and back to normal operation within minutes. We&#8217;ve since solved the routing behavior that led to this and added safeguards to prevent it from recurring. We&#8217;re sorry for the inconvenience to Chicago residents.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7chicago.com\/post\/video-shows-serve-robotics-delivery-robot-crash-cta-bus-shelter-racine-outside-centre-construction-group-west-town\/18763333\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">RELATED: 2 delivery robots crash into CTA bus shelters days apart; 1 incident caught on camera<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">This is not the first time food delivery robots have malfunctioned in the city.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Earlier this year, two of them crashed into bus shelters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">One of the robots was owned by Coco.
