Afternoon Oddball:

A warning to all you waiters and waitresses: you're being replaced! A restaurant in China has a waitstaff consisting solely of robots! The six robots can cater up to 100 diners, and the restaurant's 21 tables are set in a circular route that the robots follow. After serving, the robots return to the kitchen to refill their cart for the next round. Humans, however, do prepare the food. The Shandong Dalu Science and Technology Company, which developed the restaurant, wants to further the concept by creating robots to help with kitchen chores like washing the dishes. The plus side to having a robotic waitstaff? You don't have to tip!
