Miami Elevator Engineers & Roboticists - Humanoid Elevator Priority

MIAMI 2035: THE HUMANOID CITY — EPISODE 2 WHO GETS THE ELEVATOR? 🤖🛗🏙️ Here’s the first practical problem I keep coming back to: If humanoids become common in high-rise living, how do they move vertically without making life worse for humans? This is no longer completely theoretical. KONE already has technology allowing service robots to call and operate elevators autonomously. Schindler has developed robot-building logistics systems designed to let autonomous robots move through elevators and buildings. So parts of the technology already exist. But are our buildings—and our rules—ready? Imagine a 40-story Brickell tower. 500 residences. Eventually, perhaps 100 households have humanoids. At 8 AM, residents are leaving for work while robots are collecting groceries, delivering packages, or moving between floors. Who gets priority? A humanoid-ready tower may eventually need: • Robot-to-elevator communication • Independent machine credentials • Human-priority scheduling • Robot waiting areas • Floor-by-floor permissions • Emergency overrides • Congestion management And maybe we eventually need something entirely new: An Autonomous Mobility Core A dedicated circulation system for humanoids, deliveries, and robotic building services. Or maybe intelligent scheduling lets humans and humanoids safely share the same elevators. Then comes the harder question. An elderly resident, a parent with a stroller, and three humanoids are waiting. Who goes first? Should human priority be written into the software? Should the HOA decide? The developer? The robot manufacturer? Or local government? That is what Miami 2035: The Humanoid City is about. Starting the infrastructure conversation before the technology arrives at scale. I want to hear from elevator engineers, architects, developers, roboticists, accessibility experts, condo professionals, and policymakers: 1. Should humanoids share passenger elevators? 2. Should humans always have priority? 3. Should future towers have dedicated robot circulation? 4. Who should establish the rules? 5. What problem am I not thinking about yet? I’m developing these conversations into a broader Humanoid-Ready Building framework for Miami, and I’m looking for people willing to challenge, improve, and collaborate on the idea. NEXT: DOES YOUR ROBOT NEED A KEY? Identity. Access. Privacy. And who gets permission to go where. #Miami2035 #HumanoidCity #HumanoidRobotics #MiamiRealEstate #Brickell #FutureOfCities #SmartBuildings #PropTech #AI #PhysicalAI #Robotics #Architecture #UrbanPlanning #MiamiDevelopment #ConTech #FutureLiving
