The Study

What is this study about?

  • This study aims to supplement an ongoing trial of Camello robots and understand participant’s experience with deliveries conducted by these robots.
  • The trial has been ongoing since February 2021, involving residents of 7 HDB blocks at Waterway Woodcress in Punggol. It hopes to test the implementation of artificial intelligence technology in expanding existing delivery infrastructure and improving consumer experience.

Who is conducting the trial and study?

  • The trial is launched by the Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) in collaboration with other government agencies such as HDB and LTA, and private companies (e.g. OTSAW, CM Logistics).
  • The surveys will be conducted by Consulting Group – Asia Insight Pte. Ltd., an independent market research agency.

When does the study begin and long will it last?

  • The study starts in mid-August, and will end in mid-March.

What will I receive for completing the study?

  • After the trial, you will be awarded $20 worth of NTUC vouchers.

Will I be eligible for the $20 NTUC vouchers if I do not manage to arrange for the delivery or complete the 2 surveys?

  • Only participants who complete both surveys and submit proof of the delivery will be eligible for the voucher.
