These German-made robots take orders, prepare food and deliver it to the customers’ tables.
To minimise human contact in the post-Covid-19 era, Dubai’s RoboCafe has brought in AI-augmented robots to serve as a barista. Customers place their orders using a screen and then everything is carried out by the 1.25m-tall robots. They arrange the orders by tables and put them on a small service bot, and the service bot carries it to the customers. Any interruption from humans is required only when there is some technical issue or to sanitise frequently used surfaces. These fully automated delivery bots are designed and produced in the UAE under the Dubai government’s AI initiative.
Outlook
This initiative can minimise human contact and help people with social distancing that are necessary precautions advocated by health experts globally. The efficiency of work will also be increased as the robots can serve more customers without any spills and delays. RoboCafe claims that its robots can improve the customer experience while dining, especially during the Covid-19 crisis.
