‘Poultry in motion’: South Korea tests fried chicken delivery to remote island using a drone and four-wheel robot in the world’s most elaborate takeaway operation

• Drone deliveries are becoming more ambitious
• A new South Korean trial delivered fried chicken to a remote island
• It’s one of 80 test runs over the past month

Delivery drone programs are getting smarter and more ambitious: a trial scheme in South Korea has successfully delivered an order of fried chicken to a customer on the remote Biyang Island, via both a drone and an autonomous four-wheel robot.

The delivery drone traveled over three kilometers (1.86 miles) of ocean to reach its destination and transfer its delicious cargo, The Korea Times reports. There’s no indication of how the takeaway meal actually tasted, but the “local resident” involved didn’t lodge any complaints.
