Yeah, next time I am getting groceries I will tell people to get out of my way cause I might hurt them with my shopping cart.

Seriously, if safety is an issue when you move your robot, your moving it wrong. I have moved a lot heavier stuff at an IKEA without incident. That is a lot harder to do with IKEA crowds and little children everywhere.

May I ask, why do you feel moving your robot is unsafe? I feel very safe with my robot, its properly supported by the cart, there are bumpers on every edge of the robot, I fold up my robot to reduce protrusions, we are walking slowly and there is a person in front of the cart kindly saying "Excuse me, I have a robot coming through" seems easy and safe to me.
