Kayla's life is busy. When the dust settles, she craves convenience. But, like many in Milton Keynes, Kayla's groceries won't come by van, or be handed over by a human. Since last April, she's had the option of delivery by robot.
凱拉的生活很忙碌。在一天的紛擾結(jié)束后，她渴望便利。但像米爾頓凱恩斯鎮(zhèn)的眾多居民一樣，凱拉訂的雜貨并不是貨車運來的，也不是由人類遞送的。從去年四月起，她可以選擇讓機器人送貨。

The robot has like a detection bubble around it and whether it's a pedestrian, a dog, any form of obstacle, it will either safely stop, it will manoeuvre around the obstacle. But if it's a very narrow pavement, it can even back up and get out the way.

“機器人可以探測周邊的物體，不論是檢測到了行人、狗，還是任何形式的障礙物，它都會安全停止，或是繞開障礙物。但如果人行道很窄，它甚至能后退并讓路。”
