BERLIN: Six kilometres per hour is a brisk pace on foot. You quickly notice that when you try to keep up with the delivery robot from Domino’s, as the waist-high box on wheels makes its way along Berlin’s pavements to deliver pizzas.
The robot is part of a pilot project in the German capital. Four sensors and several cameras give the vehicle a 360° view. The robot recognises when people, strollers or dogs get in its way and then reduces its speed or stops altogether.
