Autonomous robots that drop off food and laundry to your door set to invade Austin

Amazon and Google might be focused on delivering packages in the sky, but one UK firm has set its sights on the ground. Starship Technologies has developed a fleet of six-wheeled'ground drones' that travel at four miles per hour and are capable of carrying 20 to 25 pounds of cargo. Deemed the first autonomous delivery robot, the technology is currently being tested in London and is now set to invade Austin, Texas in the United States. Starship Technologies has developed six-wheeled bots that travel at four miles per hour and capable of carrying 20 to 25 pounds of cargo. Unlike robots designed to resemble humans, the Starship's bot is purely functional with a large compartment to hold deliveries, the equivalent size of two grocery bags.
