Two robots built by Pakistani engineer Syed Osama Aziz bring food to diners' tables at The Sicilian, a restaurant he set up in Karachi, AFP reports.
The robots, named Robia and Jojo, were made mostly from parts produced in Pakistan, with some electronic components brought in from abroad. Aziz designed their circuit boards and wrote their software in his own lab. They were developed through his robotics company, Cobot, and are made in his workshop in Multan, in Punjab province.
Diners take the food off the robot's tray themselves or wait for a member of staff to help. Aziz said he plans to add cameras and image processing so the robots can recognise customers and remember what they ordered before.
Restaurant staff told AFP the robots have brought in more customers, some of whom travel across the city to see them.
