Робот за доставка на храна може скоро да ти дойде на гости

The first autonomous delivery robot roamed the streets of Austin during the city's SXSW festival, on Monday. The robot, produced by the former Skype founders Starship, say that the robot can deliver food, groceries and small packages for as little as $1 (90 euro cents) within a 1 mile (1.6km) distance.
Starship Technologies' Head of Operations Justin Hoffmann explained that the robot "uses a combination of localisation and computer vision" in addition to "preparatory mapping systems so that when it enters a new city, it will map the entire environment and know exactly what it is to the nearest inch". Hoffmann said that the robot could "empower small businesses and offer unparalleled level of convenience to consumers across the world".
The six-wheeled robot is able to deliver items within a 5km (3mi) distance over a period of 5-30 minutes. The user is able to follow the robot's route in the smartphone's app. The robot moves autonoumosly and according to the creators is safe for the pedestrians and traffic. The delivery robot is already operational in over 60 cities in 5 different countries and it has done over 20,000 mi (32186,88km).
