The use of robot waiters in some restaurants in Shanghai and Hangzhou became a popular topic during this year’s Spring Festival. According to Peng Jun, deputy chief engineer of Jiading Commission of Science and Technology, robots in the future will be widely used in the service industry. “They will be able to learn, think and make judgments besides carrying out people’s orders.”
Various sensors on distance, pressure, temperature and sound are just like human sense organs. They can help the robot obtain information from the outside world and make judgments and moves. In the future, robots will be widely used in the medical and education industries.
