Japan is a country at the cutting edge of robotics technology. While many advances in robotics are utilized in factories and other industries, they are also finding their way into restaurants! Today, Shizuka explores the fascinating world of robot cafes and restaurants.

From a long, robotic arm preparing award-winning coffee, to robotic avatars controlled by people with disabilities, Tokyo’s robot cafes are a peek into what the future of dining may look like. Can a robot make a coffee as well as a professional barista? Are Peper robots the dining companions of the future? Join Shizuka as she interacts with the robots of Tokyo!

  1. Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics"

    A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

    A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

    A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

    So far so good at those cafes.
    Another fun video!

  2. That cafe with the avatar concept is really good outlook for the future for sure. Imagine disabled people who still have special set of skills can get a second chance in what they do best not specifically in restaurant but other things like painting, care , constructions.

  3. Really smart and funny video! I think that Shizuka also thinks I am a small robot but I am not… I am a real person!!! 🤖😝😛😜😝🙃

  4. I would get ice coffee from that cafe
    I didn't know pepper parlor was a thing but I heard about pepper the robot
    Dawn Cafe is cool if I was working at one at home it be fun and nice how she mentions disability workers
    I wish these were in America 🇺🇸
    Bring to New Hampshire

  5. With labor shortages all over the world… Robots will eventually replace people in certain jobs. Increases efficiency which is great.. But it would also mean certain industries and jobs will be gone in a matter of years.

  6. The barista's that want to unionize Starbucks need to see the robot coffee maker, you can be replaced.

  7. The weibo robots made the software in holland. These robots can even dance if you ask them 😅

  8. That cafe with actual people behind the robots are really brilliant! Especially if it gives opportunity for the disabled to work… I would support that kind of place 200%! 🙌

  9. Omg that is creepily amazing haha.. hope your doing well. Keep up the good work 😃!!
