Odisha Opens India’s First Robotic Restaurant!


After Chennai and Bengaluru had introduced a smart restaurant with robots’ machines, now it is Odisha's smart city Bhubaneswar that has opened the first Robo Chef Restaurant in Odisha.The Robo Chef restaurant in Chandrasekharpur area of Bhubaneswar has opened its doors to customers claiming to be the first eatery in eastern India where two indigenously developed robots will serve customers. 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.
So, on your next visit to Bhubaneswar do visit the restaurant, order your favorite food to Champa and Chameliand see what happens after they serve your food! The two robots even chimed “Apana mane Khushi to?” (Are you happy?) in Odia!
