frivolous lawsuit will go away. 

A Serve Robotics spokesperson said the company would defend itself against the lawsuit, adding that its robots use cameras and sensors to navigate sidewalks safely.

 Serve does not use that data to identify individuals and our systems are not designed to identify individuals or create biometric profiles,  the spokesperson said.

The lawsuits seek statutory damages of $1,000 for each negligent violation of the biometric privacy act or $5,000 for each intentional or reckless violation, along with court orders requiring the companies to comply with the law and payment of attorney fees and costs.

The plaintiffs' lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
