The Worlds First Pizza Delivery Robot

What's more exciting than having a fresh hot pizza delivered to your door? How about having it brought to you by a robot? Thanks to Domino's Robotic Unit or DRU, that just became a reality! On March 8, the three-feet tall robot delivered its first pizza to some lucky residents in Brisbane, Australia.

The fully autonomous DRU is the result of a collaboration between Domino's Pizza Australia and Sydney-based startup Marathon Robotics. The 450-pound machine that travels at a maximum speed of 12.4 miles an hour can traverse a distance of up to 12-miles and back, before requiring a battery recharge. LIDAR, a laser-based sensor technology similar to the one used in self-driving cars, enables DRU to detect and avoid obstacles, while traditional sensors, much like those used in vacuum robots ensure its path is safe as it heads to its destination.

DRU's weather and waterproof acrylic plastic exterior protects the food from the elements, while its aluminum and steel interior ensures that the pies remain piping hot! The robot can fit up to ten pizzas and even has a separate cold area to accommodate drink orders.

Equipped with both Google Maps and GPS-guidance DRU can navigate bike paths and sidewalks and also find the most efficient way to its destination. Since the robot does not have to contend with road traffic, it could potentially make deliveries a lot quicker than humans. To access their food, customers have to enter the unique code provided to them by the company. This not only ensures that they pick up the right pizza, but also prevents the pies from getting stolen en route.

Though Domino's has thus far built just a single prototype, they expect additional DRU's to be ready for service in their various Queensland locations within the next six months. But don't expect these super cute robots to replace humans anytime soon. According to Domino's the DRU still needs extensive testing, which the company believes could take up to two years.

And then there is also the issue of regulations. The public use of autonomous vehicles is still banned in most countries. But Don Meij, the CEO and Managing Director of Domino's Pizza Australia New Zealand Ltd, is not worried. He is "confident that one day [DRU] will become an integral part of the Domino's family." We for one cannot wait!

NASA scientists have announced 1284 new exoplanets - candidates found by the Kepler Space Telescope that have now been confirmed with 99 per cent certainty. This is the largest dump of new planet discoveries in history, and it more than doubles the count of confirmed planets for the intrepid space telescope.

On Monday, earthlings watched as Mercury passed between our planet and the sun, all three celestial bodies lining up in just the right way for Mercury to appear as a small black dot creeping over our bright host star. That phenomenon - one planet passing in front of its star, from the visual perspective of another planet - is known as a "transit." And that's how Kepler finds new, alien worlds.

Kepler (which is technically broken, but still finds new planets in its second life as "K2") tracks the subtle dimming of distant stars to detect possible planets that orbit them. It's our best method for detecting exoplanets, even though it can only hunt down worlds that are set up to "transit" from Earth's perspective.

Even though the data collection of the K1 mission is over, scientists are still working on parsing out the primary mission's data. They have to weed out false positives from the thousands of potential planets - star dimming actually caused by mischievous companion stars or other objects.

In a paper published in the Astrophysical Journal, a team led by Princeton University's Timothy Morton presents a new statistical method for calculating the likelihood that a given candidate is, in fact, a planet. Their analysis yielded 1284 confirmations. Another 1327 planets from the Kepler catalogue are almost certainly planets, according to the researchers, but these worlds don't reach the 99 per cent probability threshold - so more study will be needed to adequately confirm their existence. The other 707 potential worlds are likely nonexistent, according to the analysis.

Of the newly confirmed planets, nine are thought to be rocky planets (like Earth, as opposed to gas giants or tiny worlds made of ice) in the habitable zone - meaning that they're the right distance from their host stars to potentially host liquid water, a necessary ingredient for life as we know it.

"Planet candidates can be thought of like bread crumbs," Morton said in a statement. "If you drop a few large crumbs on the floor, you can pick them up one by one. But, if you spill a whole bag of tiny crumbs, you're going to need a broom. This statistical analysis is our broom."

The statistical method could allow scientists to decide which "planets" to set aside as false positives or doggedly pursue as potential sites for alien life using less time and fewer resources.

"They say not to count your chickens before they're hatched, but Tim's numbers allow us to do exactly that," Natalie Batalha, Kepler mission scientist at NASA's Ames Research Center, said during a news conference. "This is going to be very important for Kepler's most valuable planet discoveries, those small planets found orbiting in the habitable zone."

As of today, NASA knows of 21 exoplanets that it considers likely to be rocky, potentially wet worlds. And based on Kepler data, Batalha said, our galaxy probably has more than 10 billion rocky planets that live in the habitable zones of their stars.

That's a lot of Earths.

Before Kepler, we had no idea of how common these kinds of planets might be. The fact that they seem to be run-of-the-mill is great news in the search for life: The less special we are, the more likely we are to have company somewhere in the galaxy or beyond.

Scientists could further explore the habitability of these worlds by measuring the way their host stars' light changes as it passes through planetary atmospheres. The molecular signatures analysed using this method could reveal the presence of water and other life-giving molecules, showing us which worlds are closest to Earth on the planetary family tree.
