Domino's unveils pizza delivery 'bot

This latest news just might be the end of the pizza delivery boy. Domino's Pizza, together with Australian startup Marathon Robotics, has unveiled the DRU (Domino's Robotic Unit), the world's first autonomous pizza delivery vehicle. The four-wheeled robot sourced from the military and its own technology includes GPS tracking data. It has a sensory system that uses lasers to move around obstacles in its path. It travels with speeds of up to 20km/h and can cruise on footpaths, trails, and bike paths. When it reaches the customer, all he or she has to do is enter a security code in his or her phone to tell the robot to unlock the storage compartment and deliver the pizza.
