Samurai robots serve humans in Hajime restaurant, Thailand

April 5, 2010 by: My Way

These are the robots of the Hajime restaurant in Thailand. The owner, Lapassarad Thanaphant, decided that she wanted a Japanese restaurant, and instead of hiring a wait-staff, she set her place up for samurai robots.

That’s right, robot samurai, and not like the robot samurai like the ones in Robocop 3. No, these robot samurai are very cute with their big round eyes. Not only do they deliver the food and clear it, but they can also do this little dance. You can watch a video of them after the jump with some music from the east and the west.

The owner of the restaurant spent about $930,000.00 to get this restaurant going, and I have no idea how much independent function that these samurai robots have. In other words, does she have to push some buttons to make the robots drop off or fetch the food, or do they figure it out by themselves?
