A military robot that was designed to dodge bullets in the battlefield will now distribute pizza to your doorstop.
Domino's Australia has been working in a development lab with Australian start-up company Marathon Robotics for about six months to engender DRU, the world's first autonomous distribution conveyance.
The white, four-wheeled robotic unit can peregrinate up to speeds of 20 kilometres and is able to navigate the streets independently, with a built in sensory system that utilizes lasers to can identify obstacles and calculate the best path to take.

Inside DRU's sleek white exterior lies a temperature-controlled box designed to keep your pizza's piping sultry and your drinks cold that elevates up from inside the contrivance to sanction customers to amass their repast after imputing a unique code.
'It seems pretty crazy to us that one and a moiety - two tonne conveyances distribute a few hundred grams of pizza in the neighbourhood,' Domino's Group CEO and Managing Director Don Meij verbally expressed.
Mr Meij cerebrates traditional distribution methods are still 'quite an inefficient way for the future' but verbalized there are still distributions that DRU simply can not do.
The Australian entrepreneur, who commenced out as a distribution driver himself, verbally expressed the incipient system has the potential to reduce costs to the business like wages, but cerebrates its unlikely DRU's will be taking the jobs of puerile distribution drivers who make up an immensely colossal percentage of the workforce.
'It pulls an abundance of cost out of the business. Conspicuously labour is the number one cost; the whole management of our distribution fleet is extravagant,' he verbalized.
