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
