FedEx Office is adding a new kind of worker in North Texas: a robot that can deliver a hot pepperoni pizza, a bag of groceries, or a prescription to a customer’s home.
The bot could bring a swab for a strep test to a sick person’s door and return hours later with medication, cough drops and a cup of chicken noodle soup.
