"SINGAPORE: Restaurant-goers in Singapore can expect to be served by
autonomous flying robots – the world’s first commercial attempt – by the
end of next year.
Infinium-Serve, the autonomous flying robotic
waiters, will be first launched at one of Timbre Group’s five outlets in
Singapore. Infinium Robotics CEO Woon Junyang estimated the project to
cost a 'low seven-figure sum' for the five outlets, subject to final
negotiations and certain variables of the actual deployment of the
robots.
Infinium Robotics signed a Memorandum of Understanding
with Timbre Group on Oct 31. Both companies are seeking
productivity-related government grants to help offset deployment costs.
Mr
Woon said he is confident that such robotic solutions will help
alleviate the Singapore’s labour crunch. Introducing this technology
into restaurants would take away mundane tasks of serving food and
drinks, and allow human waiters to focus on higher-value tasks such as
getting feedback from customers, he said."
It's fun compiling all the wacky ideas people have for drones. At least here they thought of protecting their clients from the four spinning blades of doom.
