Domino’s
is taking pizza delivery to the next level by introducing the world’s first
pizza delivery robot in Australia. ‘Domino’s Robotic Unit’ (DRU) is a
three-foot tall, 450-pound robot that can self-drive at 12.4 miles an hour from
a Domino’s to any location within a 20-kilometer radius.
The
robotic unit consists of a battery-powered heated compartment that can keep up
to 10 pizzas warm, and a chilled compartment for cold drinks. The water-tight,
weather-proof acrylic plastic exterior and aluminum and mild steel interior
will keep food safe, while LIDAR laser-light sensors located within the unit
will help the robot detect obstacles on his route. To prevent thefts, customers
can only access their pizzas by entering a unique code into the pizza
compartment. DRU can drive on roads as well as pavements, and is programmed to
promptly return to the store for recharging after all deliveries are complete.
