HAVE A BYTE AT THE ROBOT CAFE

The robots at the Enjoy Budapest Cafe can do it all.

They can serve up food and drink, tell jokes, dance with the kids or just hang out for a chat with customers.

The cafe, opened in the Hungarian capital, is staffed by a whole team of robots that aim to help familiarise the public with the technological revolution in automation and artificial intelligence.

ICE-BORG LETTUCE

The robot waiters follow fixed paths to deliver food and drink orders to customers, who are asked to keep out of the robots' way.

EGGS-TERMINATE

Others serve up entertainment, such as Pepper, a "receptionist."

This robot can hold a conversation and also dance with customers.

But what about jobs for 'real people?!'

Despite fears that increasing automation and artificial intelligence will take away employment from humans,

"We actually employ twice as many people as before, because to operate 16 to 20 robots from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. we need to have IT specialists in the background."

DA-TA

At Enjoy Café, kids can interact with various robots and instruct them to do push-ups or to dance Gangnam Style.

Yes that’s right, the robots will keep your kids entertained throughout the meal instead of them pushing your buttons!
