Adorable self-driving robots will start making deliveries in Europe this month

Remember those little six-wheeled robots we told you about in April? They're now set for a commercial rollout in London and three other European cities. The robots, from Starship Technologies, will be deployed this month to make deliveries for food-ordering services Just Eat and Pronto, and carry packages for courier service Hermes and supermarket Metro Group. The Starship delivery bots will be stationed at kitchens, delivery hubs, and supermarkets in London, Düsseldorf, Bern, and Hamburg. When an order comes in, the bots will drive themselves to collect their cargo, store it in their holds (which can take about two shopping bags' worth of stuff), then trundle on to their destinations.
