Many brands have been in the news within the past year or so because of their use of robots to deliver takeaway meals, and now Just Eat has made headlines by unexpectedly doing as such.
Just Eat partnered with Starship Technologies to develop the food delivery robot, which made its first delivery of a takeaway meal from Taksim Meze, a Turkish restaurant in Greenwich. The meal was unexpectedly delivered to a woman who was elatedly excited to experience the new technology.
Drone technology is becoming more and more prepared for the real world as consumers warm up to the idea of seeing them in the streets and the units become ready for extended shifts. The Just Eat delivery robot will continue to deliver food within the Greenwich area for the next while with London being next on the brand's list of cities to roll the technology out in.
