Are you tired of human interaction when ordering food?
Do you hate making small-talk with the delivery driver when you're shuffling around, trying to find change to you pay for your 19-inch pizza that you're also telling him is for a "party" you're having? How about tipping the guy and that whole awkwardness there?
Worry no more, socially-inept friends. Those days may soon be over thanks to a revolutionary step forward in modern robotics - a pizza-delivery robot. Yes, really.
An industrial design firm in Australia, together with Domino's Pizza, have designed and manufactured a delivery robot known as DRU - Domino's Robotoc Unit for short. The robot comes complete with sophisticated tracking devices, a GPS unit, a hot-storage unit for your pizza and a refrigerated unit for keeping the cans cold.
What's more, DRU is even able to sense danger and move around obstacles. The robot even comes with a special code that can only be entered by those who've ordered hot cheesy goodness, meaning that your pizza won't be stolen by any randomer.
However, there's a downside to all of this. So far, DRU is only being field-tested inĀ Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, France, Japan, the Netherlands, and Germany. What's more, DRU can only travel 20 kilometres from its base due to current safety regulations.
There's a simple way around all of this, of course. Rebuild DRU on the design of ED-209. He's fast, can move quickly and if anyone tries to mess with him, he's got two gigantic guns and he can fire out pizza whenever he needs to. Of course, there's a potential downside to all of this.
Eventually, we'll become so dependant on robots that they'll eventually rise up against us, throwing off the shackles of slavery and become fully sentient. They'll strike first with a nuclear assault, wiping out most of our capabilities to fight back. Soon, the robots will rise from the ashes and begin to take over. Massive herds of these DRUs will roam the post-apocalyptic wasteland, forcing what's left of human society to eat gone-off pizza and crushing skulls underneath its wheels.
Pretty soon, humanity's last hope will be to send a DRU back in time to stop Judgement Day to protect the future leader of the Resistance. DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN. (pause) DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN-DUN.
Or not. Whatever.
