Pakistani Engineer Introduces Locally Made Robot Waitresses at Karachi Restaurant
In Karachi, Pakistan, engineer Syed Osama Aziz has introduced robotic waitresses named Robia and Jojo at his Sicilian restaurant. These robots, designed and programmed locally with some imported parts, deliver food to diners but require human assistance to remove items from their trays. While robotic staff are common in East Asia, they remain rare in Pakistan, attracting curiosity among customers. Aziz developed the robots through his company Cobot, aiming to bring innovative technology to the local dining scene.
