"On my last post, Bacon Alarm Clock, I made a comment about what's next - a robot waiter. Then it got me thinking if anyone has actually invented such a thing. Well here it is... P.S. My favorite is the WA-7."
*********************
Robo Waiter 1 from Hong Kong's Cyber Robotics Technology has shiny lights for eyes and can guide guests to tables as well as deliver orders.

This robot follows Canada's earlier 2001 robot named Jose, the Canadian robo-waiter. Developed for the 2001 Robo-Cup hosted by the American Association for Artificial Intelligence, Jose, the Canadian robo-waiter won the "Hors-d'Oeuvres Anyone?" international competition. Jose is shown below serving a muffin to Minister of Industry Brian Tobin.

José was designed by a student team led by Professor Jim Little of the Institute for Robotics and Intelligent Systems and the University of British Columbia. Science fiction fans may recall Star Wars' Artoo Detoo in an identical pose.

And don't forget the waitress robot WA-7, the robotic waitress from Dex's Diner in Star Wars II Attack of the Clones.

Now I'm afraid to say, "what's next, a robot banquet manager"?

"you know what the best part of working in a restaurant is, boy"
"No Pop"
"WAITRESSES"
He just grinned and nodded his head.
WA-7 is kinda cute...
But will she go for it?
Yeah, today we can come across so amazing things that even these robot waiters do not surprise me.
Who knows, who will serve us in restaurants in 2015?

This is the future I reckon - soon it will be cheaper to buy a robot waiter and plug it in than employ a real human and have to put up with all their unpredictability. They could have programmable personalities that automatically tune in to the characters of particlar customers!
Would they still get tips though??
