In DC there is a new delivery system that you have to sign up to try. It is made by Starship Technologies, and it delivers hot food to you! It keeps your food hot while it carries it around. It has cameras all around it to make sure people don’t rob it, and it is has been tested to not be broken into with your bare hands. To open it the customer gets a text. It opens when you text “open” back.

This relates to mechanical engineering because it was made to solve a problem that people have: going out to get food. This invention was made for our convenience and it is robotic. It also has a technology that keeps the food warm.
