SG really losing out to tiongland liao! Haidilao replaces its staff with robots in first test outlet!!!!!

[micromachine]

You might not see a human face other than your dining partner at this hotpot restaurant, as Haidilao opens its first fully automated branch with robots doing all the work.

The popular Chinese chain has teamed up with Japanese technology giant Panasonic for a restaurant in Beijing where robots take orders, prepare, and deliver your dishes.

Launched on October 28, the restaurant attaches a radio frequency identification (RFID) to each item, which tells a robotic arm what to pick out when a dish is selected. A robot waiter then wheels the dish over to the table for customers to cook in the pot. The system also allows customers to personalize their soup base precisely and remembers their preference when they come into the restaurant again.

Siao bo, the robots look like assholes!

I look at the computer everyday for 8 hours, and still talk to a robot to take my orders after work? This is the beginning of the end for humanity!
