Named Champa and Chameli, the two humanoid robots rolled on the floor, serving food to the waiting customers. The robots use SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) technology that does not need any guided path or environment modification. The robots have 17 kinds of censors that sense the environment, heat, even smoke, identify persons, greet and welcome people. Though the robots can take orders from the customers, the restaurant owner would engage their own staff for it as it needs a human touch. The two humanoid robots costing around Rs 5.5 lakh each can work up to 8 hours once fully charged and lift dishes up to 20 kgs. It takes around half an hour to charge the robots.
