Robots powered by AI-based image recognition software and tasked with taking patients’ vital signs and delivering medication and snacks have already been successfully trialled in Singapore’s Alexandra Hospital.
More than 100 robot waiters are already engaged in restaurants across Australia to help combat staff shortages, including Melbourne CBD’s Superhiro Japanese restaurant and bar , and at Dodee Paidang Thai. But they’re not stealing jobs. They can’t yet navigate obstacles like bags and coats, or produce the warm and fuzzies that come from experiencing a truly memorable dining experience. That’s what we’re for.
