"The Kiwibots do not figure out their own routes. Instead, people in Colombia, the home country of Chavez and his two co-founders, plot “waypoints” for the bots to follow, sending them instructions every five to 10 seconds on where to go." "Another cost saving is that human assistance means the robots don’t need pricey equipment such as lidar sensors to “see” around them."

What are some of the hacks you have heard or have personally experimented with? Thank you in advance!
