韩国餐厅启用送餐机器人  

Customers at a fast-food chain in South Korea can avoid any interaction with a human server during the pandemic. No Brand Burger is using robots to take orders
prepare food and bring meals out to diners.
Customers order and pay via touchscreen
then their request is sent to the kitchen where a cooking machine heats up the buns and patties.
When it's ready
a robot 'waiter' brings out their takeout bag.
准备好后，机器人“服务员”会将外卖送过来。
Human workers add toppings to the burgers and wrap them up in takeout bags before passing them over to serving robots.
Last month
takeout orders at No Brand accounted for 58 percent total sales
up from 42 percent in July
according to the chain's parent pany
Shinsegae Food.
After a recent second wave of coronavirus infections
restaurants in South Korea were only allowed to provide takeout and delivery after 9pm - a restriction that was only lifted Monday.
Other eateries in Asia have started employing robot servers during the pandemic.
In South Korea
the Italian restaurant chain Mad for Garlic is using serving robots even for sit-down customers.
Using 3D space mapping and other technology
the electronic 'waiter
' known as Aglio Kim
navigates beeen tables with up to five orders.
Mad for Garlic manager Lee Young-ho said kids especially like the robots
which can carry up to 66lbs in their trays.
Initially South Korea had been doing well against the virus
but in August
the number of reported infections nearly doubled
from 56 to 103
in just o days. It reached a peak of 441 cases on August 26 before ticking back down to at least 100 new infections per day.
That month
the health ministry banned large gatherings and shuttered nightclubs
churches and beaches to turn the tide.
To date
the country of 50 million has had 22
504 reported cases of COVID-19 and 367 deaths
42 of which were in Seoul.
