Robots that look like “WALL-E” are starting to roam around Hoboken, New Jersey, as the city aims to improve accessibility for pedestrians.
Hoboken officials announced residents will see Daxbot robots traveling along sidewalks starting Monday. They will be collecting engineering data to improve ADA accessibility. They will also assess curb ramps, push buttons, crosswalks and park pathways.
The robots, funded by a federal grant, are part of the city’s larger Vision Zero initiative under its Accessibility Action Plan.Â
