Mulán, the robot server
Crensa is a restaurant recently opened in Valencia. This place has a peculiarity: it has server robots and they are not as cold as other robots. In fact, they call their customers "caring", give them a good deal and ask for permission to pass.
Crensa is located in the Benimaclet district of Valencia and has two robots working as a server. Their name is Mulán, they are very well educated and they speak kindly to their clients.
For example, this robotic waiter asks to clear the way "let me pass, please" by saying, and he serves heartily by serving "good luck, darling." These are the biggest innovations of this restaurant that offers Asian food. , a sustainable development area in Valencia, located in the northeast of the city.
The main restaurant is Chinese Erick Yan. He said he plans to "continue the expansion of the business" lately and will open at least two new restaurants in the city. If the result is good, it aims to reach other Spanish countries. The motto on their website is "Culinary excellence elevated by technology".
Yan said he feels "love" for the city of Valencia. He also noted that the requirements of these new servers are quite simple at the moment, although he plans to show more difficult work, such as charging or asking customers directly.
For this reason, it is necessary to press the 'exit' button to return to Mulán if he does not want to be observed while eating at this Asian restaurant.
The robots in the room are equipped with trays for customers. Six of the kitchens, on the other hand, have smart processors and speed up work.
However, the restaurant will also be hosted by the establishment's staff. "The automatons are not workers' representatives," Yan said, adding: "Everything will arrive."
In addition to a "smart" kitchen, Yan said that robots will "save some of their work" and announced that "especially in the kitchen there will be much more security" when it comes to "smart processors".
China and Japan, common
The principal explained that in many Asian countries, such as China and Japan, "robots are already a reality" in restaurants. Indeed, as a joke, Yan said: "There, they try to mimic what appears in films that show the future."
Coming back to Crensa, the decor of the room is quite futuristic, adding to the presence of robot servers, even more. The colors of these robotic servers are white and red, they look feminine, about a meter and a half high and they have a round head with red eyes and lips, with a cloth around their neck.
Before opening the premises, new restaurant staff had to be trained to work with robots and work on the latest kitchen technology.
Crensan can taste Asian cuisine, such as Asian rice, taillights, tempura, rolls, ramen, vegetables ... His boss, Erick Yan, wants to make it a franchise.
These advances always have a dark side, namely that robots will replace humans. In fact, robots have come to stay with us, and certainly to work with us, as we have just mentioned. According to research, almost two people lose their jobs in the manufacturing industry. This says that How Robots Change the World report, produced by Oxford Economics, has once again set the table on the relationship between robotization and unemployment. But this is a debate to be addressed at another time.
