Starship Technologies has unveiled the brand new 'pumpkinbots' which will be making deliveries to households around Milton Keynes.

Three Halloween-themed robots were released yesterday.

Residents have since been invited to share photographs of the bots on the MK - Starship Deliveries Facebook group in exchange for a promotional code.

Currently, Milton Keynes has the "world's largest autonomous robot fleet" due to the robot delivery company regularly expanding to new areas in the city.

And the most recent introductions to the delivery area are Kingsmead, Oxley Park and Westcroft.
