UM-Bot Posted September 25, 2018 #1 Share Posted September 25, 2018 A cafe opening in Tokyo’s Akasaka district will use robots controlled wirelessly by disabled operators. https://www.unexplained-mysteries.com/news/321748/japanese-cafe-to-be-staffed-by-robot-waiters 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seti42 Posted September 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted September 25, 2018 If the robots are being operated by people instead of replacing people (disabled or not) I'm all for the idea. Personally, I wouldn't mind working from home controlling a robot waiter, factory worker, construction worker, etc. Essentially getting paid to work from home playing a video game for 6-8 hours a day sounds pretty OK to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHaYap Posted September 25, 2018 #3 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I wonder if the Military Industrial Complex will adopt such an idea for all future War Games ... ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TripGun Posted September 25, 2018 #4 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I will probably get those free bread sticks they never hand out and with a side order of end of the world magic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much everyone gets some kind of job in Japan. In a weird way it's like the old communist countries where they created as many make-work jobs as necessary for there to be 100% employment.

+DieChecker Posted September 26, 2018 #8 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I thought they already had such cafes? I saw one on Youtube the other day where the cafe owner programmed a industrial robot arm to deliver sushi to customers from the kitchen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paperdyer Posted September 26, 2018 #9 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It's a great idea as long as the disabled earn enough to make a living and not just pay them peanuts to make a show out of it. BTW - Who gets to keep the tips? The robot or the operator? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
