Domino's unveils self-driving robot

Domino's pizza says it wants to contribute to the world of automated delivery services by unveiling a self-driving robot.

Domino's pizza has rolled into the market of self-driving vehicles by unveiling a prototype four-wheeled delivery robot.

Designed by Aussie start-up Marathon Robotics the Domino's Robotic Unit, or DRU, was made to deliver from the store to the customer's door while keeping food hot and drinks cold.

Domino's Group CEO Don Meij said in a statement he hoped they would be able to work with the government and that their robot would be able to inform future regulation of automated delivery services and self-driving vehicles in Australia.

"With autonomous vehicles opening up possibilities for saving lives, saving time and moving goods more efficiently, we look forward to continuing our work in this field and leading the commercial trials."
