The Street Seen: New Guy in Town

Ocean Park (Sidewalks)

Welcome to the future of delivery. Cyanbot is a self-driving robot making on-demand delivery more accessible and sustainable. Order snacks, groceries, household goods, and more! No service fees, no small cart fee, no tips. Delivered in minutes.

Cyan Robotics was founded by UCLA alumni after they graduated in 2019 with degrees in computer science with an interest in self-driving technology.  Founders Zach Rash and Brad Squicciarini moved out of their garage into ground floor space next to Starbucks on Main St (at Hill) this week. Brad says they chose Ocean Park as a service area because of its younger more technology friendly demographic.

The robots mostly drive themselves but they can call for help if they get stuck and can be remotely driven. The robot uses GPS to find the home and then can be unlocked. In case you're wondering what happens when someone tips one over--they send out a call for help. Although passers by often put distressed robots back up right.
