When all these programs run for real, you\u2019ll have robots packing your groceries, which will be loaded into autonomous vehicles that will deliver them to your door any time of day or night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10423\" srcset=\"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro-696x392.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro-1068x601.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro-747x420.jpeg 747w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/nuro.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-id=\"10422\" src=\"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/106859458-1616687137635-Nuro-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"10421\" src=\"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/43555_col.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10421\" srcset=\"https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/43555_col.jpg 960w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/43555_col-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/43555_col-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/43555_col-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/desis.osu.edu\/seniorthesis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/43555_col-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Analysis: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Frysfoods is testing out a new way to get your groceries delivered to you by the use of driverless vehicles.
