Supermarket grocery delivery robots are to become a feature in Wakefield.
Wakefield Council has teamed up with the Co-op and Starship Technologies to offer the service to 13,000 residents of Outwood., where a three-month trial scheme has been extended. Councillor Matthew Morley said the service was environmentally friendly and may reduce food waste because "people can order a small shop".
"We're excited that this cutting-edge technology is coming to our district and helping residents who might find it difficult to get out and about," said Mr Morley, who is Wakefield Council's cabinet member for planning and highways.A BBC reporter finds out what the community thinks about the new delivery robots in LeedsThe robots have already been introduced in areas of Leeds, Milton Keynes and Cambridge.
