Robots have changed our lives in many ways, from advancing our healthcare and automating our factory lines, to taking on dangerous tasks and even taking our place in warfare.
Now Domino's have developed possibly the greatest use for robots yet - safe and secure pizza delivery in what the company claims is a world first.
The company is testing pizza delivery by robot in New Zealand, known as the Domino's Robotic Unit (DRU). The three-foot tall battery-powered unit contains a heated compartment for storing up to 10 pizzas, and is capable of self-driving up to 12.5 miles, or 20 km from a shop.

The robot sports sensors for detecting obstacles on its route, and customers are given a unique code to key into the pizza compartment once it arrives at their house to prevent thieves from trying to steal its goods en route.

I would imagine they have some kind of GPS on them.

I was thinking this too. People would either steal the thing or bash it with a bat as it drove by just because.

This concept wouldn't work in many of our more urban areas.

it would be target practice in a lot of neighborhoods

Won't work in Louisiana. Look at that ground clearance. Will get stuck in the first pothole it comes across.

Domino's sauce or cheese gives me the shits. Works better than any laxative on the market

Didn't we learn from the friendly hitchhiking robot that was assaulted and left for scaps in philadephia?

This is New Zealand though. Everybody there is nice and polite like Frodo. Plus they're more concerned with finding cute sheep.

Looks like Dirty Mike and the Boys used it like a Prius.
