Artificial intelligence: The 'Penny' service robot from 'Bear Robotics
The artificial intelligence Meal service is now also provided by robots. Bear Robotics' 'Penny' service robot, created by CEO Ha Jung-woo, a former Google engineer, is already in operation in 30 restaurants in the United States. This year, the pre-order volume reached 10,000 units. In Korea, the "Lounge X" cafe located in Yeoksam-dong, Seoul and the Villa branch of Charlotte Jamsil, a restaurant operated by Lotte GRS, use the penny. A penny can carry food 100-120 times a day, and the average daily distance is 5 km.
Ha Jung-woo, CEO of Bear Robotics, said, “In the future, the restaurant industry will change the perception of jobs. However, if robots are used, difficult, repetitive and dangerous tasks should not be performed by humans. Then people can focus on more creative and valuable work, like menu development.
