Nairobi.- \”Welcome!\” exclaims Nadia the robot, dressed in a red gown, upon detecting a human presence at the Nairobi entrance of the first restaurant in East Africa to employ this technology, delivering a futuristic customer experience.
The venue, known as Robot Café, is situated in the Kileleshwa district, to the west of Kenya’s capital.
Adorned in a minimalist design with neutral and blue hues, it features two additional robot waitresses, Claire and R24, who navigate from the reception to the patrons’ tables.
Equipped with two cameras on their frontal head area, these automatons can identify and differentiate between objects and people, further enhanced by motion sensors.
The trio of robots streamline the staff’s tasks, with their key role being to deliver products to the table and reduce the waiting time for customers to receive their orders.
