2023 is a breakout year for Al. It is changing how we live in every way. For example, there is an Al restaurant in Shanghai. Let's see what it is like.
The Al restaurant, located in the Hongqiao Area, covers about 130 square meters. It can serve about 300 people every day, most of whom are old people living nearby or office workers in the area.
At the restaurant, people need to order food on a screen. For those who are not sure what to eat, the restaurant's robots can give advice. Then. the robots cook the dishes according to the order. They can make different kinds of Chinese dishes. like gongbao chicken and mapo toufu. What's more. the robots can control (控制) the temperature for dine-in or take-away food to keep the dishes warm. At the self-service area, people simply need to place their dishes on. a smart cash desk and the robots will tell them the price of the meal. People can pay in different ways, like asking bank cards or QR codes (二维码). The prices of the food at the AI restaurant are pretty low. Every meat dish costs only 8 yuan while every vegetable dish costs only 3. 5 yuan.
"The meals cooked by robots taste as good as those cooked by humans. It is cheap and convenient (方便的) for us to eat in the Al restaurant," said-an old man.
Would you like to have a meal in such a smart restaurant? How could AI help people next? Let's wait and see.
