Get Ready To Dine In World's First Robot Restaurant


Prepared dishes are placed on a conveyor belt and when the plate reaches the right table, the robot lifts it up with its mechanical arm and sets it down. As the diners eat, the robot sings to entertain them as well.

The robots are said to be four or five feet tall and can display 10 different facial expressions.

Chief Engineer Liu Hasheng said that they have invested around 8 million in setting up the gen next restaurant.

The Daily Mail reports that each machine can work for about five hours after a two hour charge. But the cost is equally high for each which is priced between $35,000 and $50,000.

Other restaurants have also started experimenting on non human staff as well. In San Francisco, a tech startup called Momentum Machines is hoping to launch a burger joint where all the cooking is done by robots. According to the company, the machine can crank out 360 hamburgers per hour, reports Mashable.
