Sidewalk delivery robots
The knee-high coolers on wheels rolling down the sidewalk are Serve Robotics. They roam local sidewalks, hauling food and small orders and waiting their turn at crosswalks. There is 1 verified on record here.
Robotaxis

And plenty more at work
Not every robot here delivers burritos. The record also includes Avatar Humanoid, Robbins Main Beam TBM, Aurora Driver on International LT (2nd-gen), Cytronic Fulfillment System, Kodiak Driver, and 2 more -- the oldest on file here since 2020, long before most people noticed robots at all.
