The decreasing costs of hardware such as sensors and circuit boards, and the simultaneous advancements in AI software have contributed to the increase in robotic applications in various fields such as a robot restaurant. Robot restaurants can be fully automated, providing each service through an AI-enabled robot. Robots can provide many benefits for businesses as well as consumers and improve the overall experience for diners.
Restaurants have realized the potential of robots and the plethora of benefits accompanying them. Robots can be used in automating most, if not all, of the processes carried out in a restaurant. Some benefits of using robots in restaurants include:

Watch this robot hand sweat to beat the heat

"Such sweating actuators exhibit a 600 percent enhancement in cooling rate over similar non-sweating devices," write the authors of Autonomic perspiration in 3D-printed hydrogel actuators . "Combining multiple finger actuators into a single device yields soft robotic grippers capable of both mechanically and thermally manipulating various heated objects."
With five soft robotic fingers attached to a rigid robotic hand, the researchers were able to test grip strength and resilience, as the special polymer passively sweat hydraulic fluid at a certain temperature threshold.
A Warehouse Robot Learns to Sort Out the Tricky Stuff - The New York Times
LUDWIGSFELDE, Germany — Inside a warehouse on the outskirts of Berlin, a long line of blue crates moved down a conveyor belt, carrying light switches, sockets and other electrical parts. As they came to a stop, five workers picked through the small items, placing each one in a cardboard box.
At Obeta, an electrical parts company that opened in 1901, it is the kind of monotonous task workers have performed for years.
But several months ago, a new worker joined the team. Stationed behind protective glass, a robot using three suction cups at the end of its long arm does the same job, sifting through parts with surprising speed and accuracy.

Underwater robot reveals hidden base of Antarctica's 'doomsday' glacier | Science | AAAS
Using a robot dropped through a 700-meter hole in the ice, scientists stationed on Antarctica's Thwaites Glacier have captured the first video of the glacier's grounding line , the mysterious boundary where ice meets land and where warm ocean water could be slowly melting the glacier's base—putting it at risk of collapse (above).
Battling 2 months of stormy conditions and temperatures lower than –30°C in one of Antarctica's most inaccessible locations, the researchers drilled a hole and lowered the torpedo-shaped Icefin robot into the frigid ocean waters below. Icefin then swam more than 1 kilometer along a downward-sloping basin to the grounding line, a rocky ridge below sea level that supports the glacier's huge floating ice shelf.
Origami-inspired robots that could fit in a cell? | Research Blog
Imagine robots that can move, sense and respond to stimuli, but that are smaller than a hair's width. This is the project that Cornell professor and biophysicist Itai Cohen, who gave a talk on Wednesday, January 29 as a part of Duke’s Physics Colloquium, has been working on with and his team. His project is inspired by the microscopic robots in Paul McEuen's book Spiral .
To resolve this issue, Cohen and his team decided to build and pattern their micro robots in 2D. Then, inspired by origami, a computer would print the 2D pattern of a robot that can fold itself into a 3D structure. Because paper origami is scale invariant, mechanisms built at one scale will work at another, so the idea is to build robot patterns than can be printed and then walk off of the page or out of a petri dish.

Integration of robots into common spaces for social good | MSUToday | Michigan State University
Robots have been seen in popular media since the 1950s, when they ran rampant in B-rated horror movies and sci-fi tropes. Now, robots are common in everyday spaces, from assembly lines to the electronics we use at home.

Lee wanted to not only bridge this divide, but to also improve human experiences with robots once this divide is crossed, while at the same time addressing the need for social intervention.
Robots currently used in factories, for example, are segregated to their own section of the workspace. Lee said they are focused on efficiency. To her, there are greater possibilities for the establishment of robots in the workforce than separation and improved workflow. There is a lack of interaction with humans when addressing the presence of robots.
