ABOVE: They’ll be back! See the robo-waiters at one Chinese restaurant in action.
A restaurant in eastern China has ditched its traditional wait staff and is looking to the future.
That’s because the restaurant has pioneered the use of robots as waiters in Cixi, a city in China‘s Zhejiang Province.
The bionic stewards utilize magnetic strips on the ground to navigate the restaurant and deliver tasty treats to hungry patrons.
In addition, the robots can dance to the celebrated song “Gangnam Style”.
“The robot’s service is very good. They can serve food automatically, so waiters do not need to work,” an unnamed child eating at the restaurant told CCTV.
When talking about having robots in the restaurant, the manager said he just wanted local people to get to know robots.
“As time goes by, our lives will become more and more high-tech. Catering has to have a breakthrough, I thought about robots and bought robots to serve us. I want Cixi residents to know that robots can enter into the catering industry,” said Lu, who did not give his full name.
