My wife and I ate at a Korean "all you can eat" restaurant this past Saturday and the restaurant had robots which were used to bring the plates of food to the tables. One robot mistakenly brought cocktail drinks to my table and sat there until an employee realized the mistake. Later on a different robot brought the correct plates of food to my table but when I removed them from the trays, I guess the robot didn't detect that they were removed so it kept spitting out a digitized voice saying "please remove your items as other customers may be waiting". The robot finally moved on after about 5 minutes of "talking".


I'd say the robots at this restaurant are in the "novelty" phase right now. biggrin

Yeah, the restaurant bots are really cute. smile We have a couple places here with them, and my Mom always gets a kick when they bring the food.

I read an article somewhere (or rather, skimmed it) where there is a restaurant that has remote operated waiter 'droids that are operated by severely disabled people from their homes. That would be a more humane and ethical use of robots IMO. Rather than, you know, removing humans from the equation.

Other than that, there is at least one restaurant in Prague that has your drinks delivered by a tiny train, with a "station" on every table. There is an elevated train network that goes all around the restaurant. It never gets old.

Well upside is that you don't have to tip (leave a gratuity) them I suppose (if that is a custom where you live that is)

If I ever visit Prague I will be curious to check out that restaurant.
