Snackbot (2009) by Jodi Forlizzi, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Stanford University. "Snackbot was developed as a way to study human-robot interaction. Jodi Forlizzi and her fellow researchers created a system where snacks could be ordered from the robot's website, and Snackbot would deliver them to offices in Newell-Simon Hall. The Snackbot project was a joint effort between researchers at Carnegie Mellon and Stanford University, and also heavily involved students from CMU's School of Design. One of the unique aspects of the Snackbot project was a focus on design during creation, equating it to function in importance." – The Robotics Project, Carnegie Mellon University.

This reminded me of Regulus "Plus, I like sweets after really good sex" Black.

cmudrama: Earlier this month we were graced with the legendary talent, humor, and generosity of alumna Megan Hilty. She joined us for a day on campus to work with Music Theater students and talk to the whole School of Drama about the realities of working in the industry. Her advice in a nutshell: say yes and be nice. 🙌 That evening she joined Head of School Robert Ramirez on stage at the Greer Cabaret Theater for a Behind-the-Scenes conversation in partnership with the Pittsburgh @/culturaltrust. We are forever grateful and so proud to have her in our community. 💕 📷: Krist Muñoz-Malavé and Louis Stein (@/lbs_photo)
