Robotic Food Delivery at a Chinese Hotel Amazes Viewers
The food industry is evolving rapidly, with technologies like AI and robotics reshaping dining and delivery experiences. A video by Australian travel vlogger Josie has gone viral, showcasing robotic food delivery at a hotel in China, sparking widespread debate online.
In the Instagram video, Josie documents the futuristic experience. After receiving a call from reception, she waits in her hotel room. Moments later, a sleek, waist-high robot with glowing headlights glides to her door. Instead of ringing the doorbell, the robot calls Josie to inform her that her food is ready outside.
When she opens the door, the robot reveals a compartment in its “head,” containing her neatly packed meal. After Josie collects the food, the robot silently departs, completing the service seamlessly without any human involvement.
The video, posted on November 15, has amassed over 2.9 million views and stirred mixed reactions among her followers. While many were amazed by the innovation, calling it “the future,” others voiced concerns about its implications.
“Absolutely amazing to see this in action,” one user remarked, while another humorously asked, “Does it wait for a tip?” However, not everyone was impressed. Some found the experience impersonal, with one user commenting, “I’d miss the human connection,” while others worried about the potential loss of jobs.
This technological marvel highlights the growing role of automation in the food sector, raising questions about convenience versus human interaction.
