Who s behind Toronto s cute pink delivery robots?

Toronto is overrun with pink robots. Well, maybe not overrun – there are only about seven or eight wheeling around on any given day. But spotting one of them is like seeing a celebrity at TIFF. Those almost self-consciously cute pink robots are all over Instagram and TikTok. The robots are named Geoffrey, and they belong to a local startup called Tiny Mile. They’re there to get your food, picking up and delivering orders on Uber Eats. They’re not programmed to destroy us – or take our jobs. But they couldn’t have arrived during a more tumultuous year for food delivery.
