Robot snack delivery takes Pepsi Challenge on California college campus

Snackbot is the first snack-delivering robot in the U.S. to be backed by a major food and beverage company. The snackbot is an outdoor, self-driving robot. Students at University of the Pacific are about to have a futuristic dream come true: a robot that delivers you snacks. PepsiCo's Hello Goodness brand, which was created in 2015 to provide healthier snacks and beverages to consumers on the go, partnered with the San Francisco Bay Area-based Robby Technologies to bring this self-driving snack robot -- or "snackbot" -- to life. From 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., students at the private university in Stockton, California, can order food and drinks to one of more than 50 locations across campus through the snackbot app.
