The adoption of robotics has gained tremendous popularity in the food service industry. Restaurants and cafes around the world are now using robotics in many areas of restaurant operations, including serving, busing and food preparation. Now, a video has surfaced online showing a humanoid robot waitress serving food to customers at a restaurant in China. However, if you look closely, you will see that it is a real woman and not a robot. Nevertheless, the video has confused the internet.
In the video, the woman pretends to be a robot and serves food to customers with robotic movements. According to the video's caption, she has mastered the art of robot movements and has even trained her voice to sound like an AI. Notably, the woman is the owner of Chongqing Hotpot Restaurant and also a professional dancer.
''The future of dining is here: This video of a Chinese restaurant owner serving customers with robotic dance moves has become a viral sensation. I am happy to report that she has received positive support. Despite her impressive robotic skills, she is in fact a real person and a professional dancer, who has mastered the art of robotic movements and even trained her voice to sound like an AI,” reads the caption of the video shared by Balakrishnan R.
