Thrilled to share a #BehindThePaper for our latest work with @Aeschliman1 in @Nature @SciReports: 'Robots at your doorstep: acceptance of near-future technologies for automated parcel delivery'. 🚚🤖📦 https://t.co/B7C0KJzmRe

Our findings? Customer acceptance of automated deliveries like drones & robots is influenced by cost, time and parcel handling concerns. This has major implications for policymakers & #logistics companies aiming to innovate in parcel delivery. 🚀

[Maher Said @itsMaherSaid]

Excited to see my dissertation work spotlighted! 🎓3 years and 1000 estimated models later, this work dives into consumer readiness for automated deliveries.

Credit to @Aeschliman1 @BuffettInst @InfoNUTC @NorthwesternEng @b_rational @EmmaZajdela for making this work possible!

[Northwestern Engineering @NorthwesternEng]

Are consumers ready for robots at their doorstep?

Recent research from Northwestern Engineering’s Amanda Stathopoulos has an answer.

After trying to access this 1997 thesis for months, I finally got my hands on it today, thanks to great help from @BUSorbonne_Univ librarians. Best part is that it looks like it has exactly what I was looking for 😍😍 @MAThenJEANS @FemmesSciences @FemmesCNRS @DynamicsSIAM

[Maher Said @itsMaherSaid]

The pandemic has certainly changed day-to-day dynamics. Understanding how and why can help us create a more resilient future. 7/7

🚀Our paper "In-person, pick up or delivery? Evolving patterns of household spending behavior through the early reopening phase of the COVID-19 pandemic" is one of the most downloaded in Travel Behavior and Society in the past 90 days! 🎉Check it out: https://t.co/WljY9LGO07 1/7

[Maher Said @itsMaherSaid]

Our research has several practical implications for businesses, policy makers, planners, and supply-chain operators. Understanding these shifts in spending behavior can help shape strategies as we navigate the post-pandemic world. 6/7

Thrilled to have the opportunity to present my research at the @InfoNUTC seminar! Understanding user acceptance is crucial to successful implementation of robot deliveries in the #LastMile logistics. Thanks for sharing! 🤖📦 #Logistics #FutureTech #Innovation @WiskAero @USDOT

Doctoral candidate @itsMaherSaid sharing his latest results on #user #acceptance of #robot #deliveries at @InfoNUTC seminar. #Logistics #LastMile #creepy?

[MathEmmatician @EmmaZajdela]

My collaborator is currently judging my workflow - she’s suggested I implement several changes to improve the efficiency of my code #phdlife @AcademicChatter @MATLAB #CatsOfTwitter

@chi_mikeh @MarianaEscallo1 I love Mini Metro! I've spent way too much time watching gameplay of that game than I'd like to admit.

[Maher Said @itsMaherSaid]

Can we talk about this being a video game about planning routes for parcel delivery? 🚚📦 https://t.co/lWIZAUHbje

@MarianaEscallo1

[Maher Said @itsMaherSaid]

And I get to tag along! 📚 The ambience helps the research keep chugging along 🚂💨💨

New day, new library, same architect, better internet! If there is one thing Paris does right it has to be libraries 📚 (and coffee… and food… okay, Paris does a lot right 😁)

Read about our work that was recently published in @PhysRevResearch on the genesis of scientific collaboration!
