Robots are cooking and serving food in a new restaurant in east China

Robots are now getting into the restaurant business, thanks to an eatery in east China that is starting to use them to cook and deliver food.

The restaurant was opened in Kushan last week, and is using the machines for a variety of purposes, such as greeting customers, delivering dishes to tables and stir-frying meat and vegetables.

Two robots stand at the front door to happily say hello to customers. Four shot humanoid machines are given the task of bringing trays of food to tables. Two large blue robots with glowing eyes are designed for frying food. Another spends its time making dumplings. (MTI)
