Ever dined with a robot chef? Hangzhou just rolled out its first AI-powered eatery, and it's straight out of a sci-fi flick🤩
The 24 Solar Terms AI Robot Restaurant opened for trial operations this week in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province. Inside, over a dozen bots handle everything from cleaning to cooking – all in perfect sync. Cleaning bots glide across floors, delivery bots zip to your table, and a noodle-cooking robot effortlessly grabs noodles and drops them into boiling water. There's even a coffee bot that spins its tray to pour milk and sugar with pinpoint precision ☕🤖
But this isn't just about tech flex. The menu is inspired by the 24 solar terms – an ancient Chinese calendar that splits the year into 24 seasonal markers, guiding food and wellness. Think warming soups for the Falling Snow term and light salads for Grain Rain. It's a fresh twist that connects culinary tradition with next-gen convenience.
Early visitors are buzzing about the vibe – part Zen tea house, part futuristic diner. The trial phase is on now, and both grandparents and Gen Zers are curious to see how these bots perform live. Whether you're a foodie, a tech geek, or just looking for a unique brunch spot, this robot restaurant is the kind of experience you won't forget!
Stay tuned as we track how AI and tradition mesh in the heart of Zhejiang. Who knows? Soon, you might be ordering your pani puri from a bot in Mumbai or kaya toast from one in Singapore 😉
