Drones delivering
UCD will be the first site in the country where fast-food, delivered by drones, will become a reality.
The unmanned aircrafts are also expected to make more than 100 deliveries a day as part of a trial run that will begin next month.
People will be able to order Camile Thai and Ben and Jerry's through the Just Eat app, with delivery times of less than three minutes.
Dublin is to become the first city in Europe to offer fast food deliveries by drone.
Commenting on the trial, Manna CEO and founder Bobby Healy says:
"It's clear that Drone delivery provides a faster, cleaner, safer, cheaper and higher quality alternative to road-based delivery. We are excited about how that will improve the world."
Amanda Roche-Kelly, Managing Director Just Eat Ireland also said:
"Technology is at the core of everything we do at Just Eat, so we're delighted to be involved in these pioneering trials with Manna, who have clearly built a groundbreaking drone delivery system."
The trial will begin at UCD late next month.
