A dhaba in Murthal, Sonipat, has introduced a robot waiter that carries food from the kitchen to customers’ tables, with a video of the service going viral on social media. Accounts describe diners watching the robot deliver items such as samosas and other dishes, turning the delivery into a novelty for families.
Outlets report the robot navigates a designated route inside the restaurant once an order is ready, using software and a navigation system to reach assigned tables. The Times of India and Free Press Journal both attribute the technology to a Bengaluru-based team and describe the machine’s distinctive appearance, including LED “eyes.” Free Press Journal adds details about its construction, including a fibre-built exterior, and says it can be remotely controlled if needed.
The reports also differ slightly in emphasis: Times of India highlights the traditional-meets-technology and humorous online reactions, while Free Press Journal stresses the robot’s role as an additional attraction rather than a full replacement for human staff. It also notes the dhaba previously experimented with other tech-driven serving methods, including a toy train for table delivery.
