MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - MARCH 15: Starship Technologies robotic vehicles park outside a Co-op supermarket on March 15, 2023 in Manchester, England. The Co-op has been working with Starship Technologies to develop robots for local home delivery orders. The robots, small white packing cases on six wheels, use sensors and 12 cameras to enable them to navigate. They travel at walking speed, around 4mph, and their advanced technology enables them to manoeuvre around objects and people and wait until it is safe to cross the road. To deter thieves the little robot has a loud alarm which sounds if tampered with plus they are too heavy to pick up. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
