A student start-up at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) has developed self-driving robots that have delivered more than 6,000 lunch and dinner orders on the campus in Jurong since June last year, when the circuit breaker ended.
Whizz Mobility, with its eye on the prize of commercialising its product, has been putting its FoodBots - there are five of them now - through the paces.
