‘Poultry on the move’: South Korea tests fried chicken delivery to remote island using drone and four-wheeled robot in world’s most elaborate takeout operation

• Drone deliveries become more ambitious
• New South Korean Trial Delivers Fried Chicken to Remote Island
• This is one of 80 tests conducted over the past month.

Drone delivery programs are getting smarter and more ambitious: a pilot project in South Korea successfully delivered a fried chicken order to a customer on the remote island of Biyang, via a drone and a four-wheeled autonomous robot.

The delivery drone traveled more than three kilometers (1.86 miles) of ocean to reach its destination and transfer its delicious cargo, the Korea Times reports. There is no indication of what the takeaway meal actually tasted like, but the “local resident” involved has not made any complaints.
