Much is being written about the economy in times of pandemic, there is talk of a deep recession in most countries, without a doubt it is so, oil fell to its lowest historical levels, many companies are stopped, and stop tell.

We must be clear about something, the world will change after the pandemic; From the WHO they affirm that the virus will be with us much longer, at least until there is a vaccine, as the world changes technologies and the economy must adapt to these changes.

Pilot project.

A clear example is what is happening in Medellin, Colombia.

Rappi is a home delivery company, which has some 200,000 distributors in nine Latin American countries (Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Costa Rica), and that in the midst of the health crisis due to COVID-19 is executing a pilot plan with about 15 Robots that function as Deliberys.

The measure seeks to avoid person-to-person contact, "the robots are disinfected before and after each of the orders," Rappi said in a statement.

The company is executing the delivery plan with KiwiBot, a Colombian company based in the United States, dedicated to the robot business.

Each robot consists of a small closed cart, with four wheels and with remote control.

“We will continue working with new technologies, innovating, because at Rappi we are convinced that, hand in hand with technology, we will be able to continue contributing to our objective of making people's lives easier, safely, especially in situations like this in the one we meet. "
Matías Laks, country manager of Rappi for Colombia detailed.

The company that plans to extend this service to other Latin American countries, has 15 Robots that make approximately 120 deliveries per day.
