Meet Mozo, the robot waiter

Say hello to your robot server

Location: Cairo, Egypt

Armed with a name tag, tie and apron

Mozo the robot waiter

is programmed to take orders

and deliver meals to tables

(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) CUSTOMER, DANA MOHAMED, SAYING:

"Regarding the robot, it is a very good idea, given the circumstances we are in right now in the country. Everyone is afraid. Almost no one leaves their homes. There are much fewer people in restaurants. So, I think this is a good idea at a restaurant, where instead of having another human being come near you, there is a robot. it helps people who are afraid that someone else might touch their food before they do."

Mozo works with the human staff

who enter a passcode to confirm orders

The food is then placed on Mozo's trays

and delivered to diners at their table
