In New Zealand, pizza delivered ... robots

Yes, the man - the pizza delivery boy is no longer in fashion. In New Zealand, pizza is delivered by robots designed specifically for this purpose. The Domino company tried out such a delivery method - it generally uses the most advanced technologies. The company describes its robot as “the world's first autonomous vehicle for pizza delivery”.

Developed DRU (Domino's Robotic Unit) robot in Australia. The battery lasts about 45 kilometers. The robot has sensors to detect obstacles on the road. The maximum number of pizza boxes that can be loaded into the robot container is 10. The box is heated, so the customer always gets to the table a delicious hot pizza.

The container can only be opened by the client who knows the code (sent by SMS or shown on the website when placing the order).

DRU is currently the latest hi-tech project of the company. In 2014, Domino released a Siri-like virtual assistant with which customers can order pizza. Domino has apps for smartphones, PCs and smart devices like Pebble and Apple Watch. You can order a pizza with the help of Emoji pizza by sending SMS.

So far, the initial date of pizza delivery with the help of a robot is not indicated, but the officials of New Zealand are very pleased with the project. In particular, the approval of the Minister of Transport Simon Bridges.
