A fleet of about 20 autonomous, knee-high robots recently has appeared on the sidewalks of the nation's capital, and they're out to revolutionize hyper-local delivery in big cities. Their mission? Bring takeout food from restaurants to hungry customers at home — while keeping the delivery cost to around a dollar.

The robots are European, created in Estonia by a company called Starship Technologies. The company is new, but its tech experience runs deep: It was founded by two of the co-founders of Skype, Janus Friis and Ahti Heinla.

Why don't you post more of this kind of news items instead of whining about racism? 

At least We can learn something.

Instead of this, if they have invented a household robot which can take the dinner plates/cups/ from the kitchen sink and rinse it and put it in dishwasher it will be a great help. Or they can make a dishwasher which has some arms/eyes which can take stuff from kitchen sink and fill it by itself.

Someone might get the idea to use these robots to deliver other things too (e.g. 'popping' kind) and not just food etc.
