Turjanica sends a delivery robot loaded with ordered food to a customer, using an app. The robot has sensors, cameras, GPS and radar.

It drives around on its own, like some kind of oversized remote-control car, making its way from restaurant kitchens to hungry customers along city pavements.

The small six-wheeled delivery robot from tech company Starship is currently being trialled in several cities as a way to bring food from shops and restaurants to customers at home.
