THE AI ANGLE
Automating food delivery with planned facial recognition

A Pakistani engineer built humanoid robot servers from mostly local parts to deliver meals in a Karachi restaurant. Diners or human staff must still unload the trays, but the machines have increased restaurant sales by drawing large crowds. The project shows how custom regional robotics can introduce automated food service to markets where commercial machines are scarce.
