Quadruped Jueying Delivery Robot Brings Fresh Coffee
The Jueying quadruped delivery robot is just the little robotic guy you need to bring you your piping hot fresh beverage - anytime!
A new version of the four-legged “Jueying” robot was released on 4 December. The new “Jueying” robot, a small-size quadruped robot that can handle 20-kilogram objects, is capable of running and climbing stairs. The new “Jueying” robot is marked by a better ability to strike a balance while running and a greater capability of adapting to more complicated terrains, said one of the developers.“Jueying” can issue an order every 0.5 millisecond, adapt quickly to the environment, give an order while it is on the verge of losing its balance and make adjustments with a series of fast-paced mobility. At present, it has grasped a myriad of skills. It can run, jump, climb stairs, walk on gravel paths, and squat and stand up. Even supposing it falls down, it can automatically adjust its body position and rise to its feet again.
It can fulfill multiple tasks and is thereby expected to be a powerful assistant in daily life.

Fans of science fiction author Robert Heinlein may recall the delivery robot mentioned in his 1962 novel Podkayne of Mars:
Not since the time he rewired the delivery robot so that it would serve him midnight snacks and charge them to my code number without (so far as anyone could ever prove) disturbing the company’s seal on the control box.
