Deliveroo Rolls Out AI Delivery Robots in Five British Areas

Deliveroo is beginning to use artificial intelligence-powered robots to deliver food in five areas across Britain, introducing a new way for orders to reach customers.

The rollout brings robotic delivery onto British streets as the company tests the technology for food deliveries.

The move raises questions about what automation could mean for delivery workers. Deliveroo, however, says the robots will not replace its couriers.

The company is presenting the technology as an addition to its delivery service rather than a substitute for human workers. Its assurance puts the relationship between automated deliveries and courier jobs at the centre of the rollout.
