A pizza delivery Robot: DRU


Hello Friends,

Can you ever imagine that on your pizza delivery you will recieve a highly developed tin box which is a wonderful creation of today's robotics technology holding pizza in its hand???

Then ready to boost up your excitement level because this imagination has been turned into reality by Domino's Robotics Unit or DRU. 

Thanks to Domino’s Robotic Unit or DRU, that this imagination just became a reality! On March 8, the three-feet tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.

This auto-bot is result of collaboration between DRU and Sydney based StartUp Marathon Robotics. 

The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour cantraverse a distance of up to 12-miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacle, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it  heads to its destination.
