Robot, bring me lunch!

from The Corner Table: Top Chef Wisconsin

If you've spent time around the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus in the last year, you've probably spotted the adorable white robots rolling along the sidewalks or waiting to cross a busy street, carrying lunch to a hungry student or professor.
