How the people of the future will view the robots of today

Another week, and another bunch of "the robots are coming for our jobs" stories permeate the media sphere. While many of these reports are little more than future-gazing predictions, there are some real and tangible instances where it appears robots are currently out to steal humans' jobs. Robotics startup Marble debuted its road-faring machine this week in partnership with Yelp, with some customers in San Francisco now receiving their food orders via a little white, four-wheeled trolley. Above: Marble's robot can deliver your food, in partnership with Yelp's Eat24. The fairly nondescript vehicle is capable of navigating busy thoroughfares using in-built sensors and cameras, while simultaneously mapping the sidewalk to optimize its route.
