PARIS - Four decades after R2-D2 delivered a vital message from Princess Leia in the hit movie “Star Wars”, a French supermarket group plans to use robots inspired by the drum-shaped droid to transport food to customers in Paris.
In the French capital, where Amazon has been running its Amazon Prime Now express delivery service since 2016, the speedy and convenient delivery of food has become a battleground among retailers. Franprix and its partner, French start-up TwinswHeel which developed the as yet unnamed robot, are running the test after the city’s authorities approved the southeastern arrondissement for the experiment.
Using a “Follow Me” button on the machine, the robot is paired with customers through visual recognition, so it can follow them in store and on the street.Initially, the robot will not go on the streets on its own, but will be followed by an operator because Franprix does not have permission for the machine to travel solo yet.

French court finds Bayer's Monsanto liable for farmer's sicknessA French appeals court ruled on Thursday that Bayer's Monsanto business was... Monsanto knows this all along... It is about time! They have been negatively effecting the land for years and we willingly allowed it. I hope this helps brings awareness and a solution to Monsanto's effects on public health and agriculture. Very sorry the farmer became ill...but remarkable news that Monsanto at least is found accountable for their poison products. I hope it snowballs into further investigations and court rulings against Monsanto, but such a large scope of damage has already been done.
