At present, artificial intelligence technology is becoming increasingly mature and widely used, and its presence can be seen in the catering industry. Previously, 'smart restaurants' could only appear in movies, but now they have entered our daily lives. Many similar technology restaurants have been opened in various parts of China, including some traditional restaurants that have started using intelligent kitchen equipment, such as dining robot and delivery robot.
Industry insiders say that the application of delivery robots can to some extent improve the efficiency of restaurant delivery, reduce labor costs, and also bring new experiences to customers. Generally speaking, food delivery robots can transport up to ten or more dishes at once, and the efficiency of food delivery is unmatched by manual labor. They can also improve the safety of the food delivery process and reduce the burden on catering service staff.
Due to many advantages of food delivery robots, more and more catering enterprises and restaurants have introduced related products. For example, Haidilao has used 958 food delivery robots; Banu has deployed nearly a hundred robots to assist in passing dishes in its 30 restaurants; My grandmother's home has launched 200 snack delivery robots, and after the resumption of work due to the epidemic, they have enabled food delivery robots to deliver food and other products.
Not only domestically, but also internationally, food delivery robots have received high praise, demonstrating strong application advantages and market potential. Recently, the robot subsidiary of Softbank of Japan said that it would launch an automatic food delivery robot developed by Bear Robotics of Canada to help the Japanese catering industry cope with the labor shortage and ensure Social distancing during the epidemic. It is reported that this delivery robot has a tray and is equipped with a 3D camera and a LiDAR sensor for navigation.
Obviously, food delivery robots have become a trend. In addition to bringing direct cost benefits to restaurants, robot delivery is also a great help for restaurants to attract customers. Due to the "black technology" nature of delivery robots and unmanned restaurants, it is inevitable that many customers will be curious, develop a strong experiential mentality, and be willing to share such new dining modes.
A restaurant manager has stated that since the introduction of the catering robot, the number of customers who come to dine has significantly increased compared to before, bringing good profits to the restaurant. Moreover, as long as the delivery robot appears, it will attract many customers to take photos and videos, and share them on corresponding social media or online life platforms, which is a free diversion for catering.
From restaurant design layout to intelligent catering equipment, the progress and changes in the catering industry over the years are vividly remembered. From the perspective of catering robots, their market acceptance and demand are rapidly increasing. In addition to factors such as the impact of the epidemic, labor costs, and customer preference, the increasingly mature technology of food delivery robots and the reduction of product costs are fundamental. The implementation of this scene is closely related to the upgrading and popularization of technologies such as artificial intelligence and sensors.
Many robot manufacturers in China have advanced technological capabilities and are more adept at developing robot products. They are constantly improving the environmental perception and motion control capabilities of delivery robots, which enables them to perform more stably and well during the delivery process, thus gaining unanimous recognition from restaurants and customers.
According to relevant statistical data, the market size of domestic food delivery robots in 2017 was only in the tens of millions level. However, by the end of 2020, the market size of domestic food delivery robots had approached 1.2 billion yuan, and some institutions predicted that it would approach 15 billion yuan by 2025.
With the continuous breakthroughs in technological innovation of food delivery robots, "unmanned restaurants" have gained wider recognition, and it is reasonable to believe that the global food delivery robot market will show a faster growth trend. At that time, catering robots are expected to become a "dark horse" in the field of service robots, further activating the market potential of service robots and bringing greater surprises to the commercialization of the entire industry.
