JAKARTA – Japanese car manufacturer Nissan has designed a self-driving mini car that can deliver a bowl of ramen to an entire restaurant without spilling a single drop.

The e-4ORCE Ramen Delivery utilizes technology that allows it to remain steady as it whizzes across the table to deliver food to hungry diners.

The machine is built with a flat tray over a seating soup bowl, while twin electric motors independently control the front and rear wheels.

The automaker has released a video showing the e-4ORCE Ramen Counter carrying a bowl full of noodles inside a restaurant.

“Look at the technology tested as a mobile ramen noodle server, serving delicious food without spilling a drop!' said Nissan, as quoted by Dailymail.

The mini car uses the same technology as Nissan's full-sized Ariya, called the e-4ORCE.

The e-4ORCE technology features all-wheel drive and chassis control technology, preventing vehicle swaying and making driving more comfortable.

It is also designed to improve steering, braking and overall driving performance, and can reduce motion sickness by monitoring and minimizing vehicle pitch and sway.

Like the Nissan Ariya, this shoebox-sized vehicle uses technology inspired by the e-4ORCE, and is able to start, stop, and accelerate smoothly without disturbing its liquid payload.

While it remains unclear how much the mini self-driving car will cost, or whether it will be launched further, it has been warmly received on social media.

In response to the video, which Nissan posted on YouTube, one user commented: 'That was a great video showing the E-4ORCE.

'Inspiring the future with technology.'

Another added: 'The collaboration we didn't know we needed.'

And one user joked: 'The new NISSIN Skyline Noodles Type R noodles.'.

Nissan's new self-driving ramen delivery car isn't the only food-based device to be revealed in recent weeks.

A Swiss team is also working on Bouebot, a robot that can make the perfect cheese fondue.

The robot, which cost up to £240,000 to develop, will be able to pour white wine into the classic Vacherin Fribourgeois and Gruyere fondue mix.

Bouebot next stirs the figure eight as the cheese melts, then sprinkles with pepper to finish.

Bouebot then took a metal nail, pierced a loaf of bread, and placed it in place for fondue lovers to try before the sticky cheese dripped down.

The bot is being developed by the team at Workshop 4.0, based in Sierre, who manipulate it using a control board.
