China is known for its cutting-edge technology and inventive breakthroughs. This time, it's a room service robot in a Chinese hotel that's making headlines online.?
Ken Abroad, a travel vlogger, posted an internet video of a robot delivering food to his hotel room in Shanghai. The vlogger was astounded by the encounter and posted his thoughts on Instagram.?
The video starts with him saying, ''Okay, the phone is ringing. That implies the robot is here. Oh, there's a robotic voice speaking Chinese. I'm not sure what it says, but we'll see if it's here.
When he opens the door, he finds a robot standing there, waiting for him. When he hits the 'Open' button on the machine, the top opens to reveal his food delivery inside. He taps it again to close the container, and the robot can be seen returning. Abroad can't help but exclaim, ''This is awesome. Thank you for your delivery.? ??
''Food delivered by a robot in China. I'm getting food delivered to my hotel room in China. This feels quite futuristic! what do you think of this? Would you like to have your food delivered by a robot?'', the caption read.?
In 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping declared a "robot revolution" in manufacturing, and the government has since gone all out for automation, replacing "humans with robots."?
During the pandemic, China became increasingly reliant on technology, deploying robots to enforce safety regulations while limiting human interaction.?
One user commented on the video, saying, "This feels like what life will be like in the 2050s." China is far ahead in many areas, but we wouldn't know it until folks like Ken went there and showed us what it's like. Thank you, Ken!
Another said, ''Very convenient for clients.''A third responded, ''It's fairly typical now in China, hehe; enjoy your time here!A fourth added, ''It began approximately three years ago, during a pandemic, to avoid touch.?
