Pi robot reportedly works autonomously for hours at Dandelion Chocolate
A deployment team member says stacking boxes reliably proved harder than building them: the original robot had poor visibility, and an imprecisely placed box could collapse the stack many boxes later.
TLDR
A deployment team member shared a video described as showing a Pi robot at Dandelion Chocolate operating fully autonomously, with no interventions. They say the team switched from a table-mounted robot to a mobile one that was self-sufficient for multiple hours. The unexpected challenge was reliably stacking boxes rather than building them. According to the account, the original robot struggled to see the stack without separately mounted cameras. Each box also required a different placement, and one imprecisely placed box could cause the whole stack to collapse many boxes later.
