New Zealand delivers pizza ... robots

Yes, the pizza delivery man is no longer in fashion. New Zealand delivers pizza with robots designed specifically for this purpose. The Domino company tried this delivery method - it generally uses high technologies more often than others. The company describes its robot as "the world's first standalone pizza delivery vehicle."

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

Container can open only a client who knows the code (sent via SMS or displayed on the site when placing an 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 pizza using emoji pizza by sending SMS.

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