The company said that these delivery robots are equipped with artificial intelligence systems and advanced depth-perception cameras, allowing them to navigate traffic patterns, pedestrians and maneuver through car and bike lanes, busy malls and sidewalks.
The fast food company is also testing autonomous delivery robots at a limited number of restaurants in California, Texas and Florida.
They hope these robots can enhance restaurant operations and cut delivery costs.
