Domino’s Pizza to start robot delivery in Germany...

Domino’s Pizza announced that its new delivery robots had begun their “maiden voyage” through Europe, with the first mechanical delivery men rolling through Amsterdam on Wednesday. And customers in neighbouring Germany can expect the super high-tech service next.

“I am monitoring with great interest Domino’s first delivery with a robot in Europe, because we are also already planning the first automated deliveries in Germany,” said Domino’s Germany CEO Karsten Freigang in the announcement.

Handelsblatt reported that the first robots in Germany will be deployed in Hamburg. When this will happen depends on how quickly local authorities grant permission for such vehicles to begin their duties. Domino’s hopes that this will be within the next two months, Handelsblatt states.

 The robot delivery system was created in collaboration with European startup Starship Technologies, which was founded by some of Skype’s co-creators. The Swiss national postal service last year also started testing Startship Technologies robots for their own deliveries. Full story...
