Starship Technology has announced that its cute delivery robots have completed their testing phase and will be deployed on the streets of London by the end of the month.
The small, wheeled robots weigh 9kg and can carry a similar weight. They travel at 6.5km/h and can travel around 30 minutes away from their base.
They can avoid collisions with people and obstacles, and can go up and down curbs.
The robot's body is locked during transit and can only be opened and emptied by the recipient using their smartphone.
To deter thieves and the overly curious, the robot is fitted with 9 cameras that will take a picture of anyone trying to interfere with it, and is also equipped with a speaker and microphone.Â
