The BellaBot delivery robot helps waitstaffs at area restaurants serve meals, with a side of cattitude.
Tsao got his white BellaBot and a slightly smaller, yellow robot by Pudu called a KettyBot last October. At the restaurant, they’re known affectionately as “Little White” and “Little Yellow.”— which weighs 84 pounds, is about is about three-and-a-half feet tall, and costs around $12,000 — is used primarily to run take-out orders from the packing station in the back of the restaurant to the hostess stand at the front.
“They found the robot in the bathroom hallway,” Tsao said, laughing. “Did she have to pee in the middle of the night?”Luckily, the BellaBot doesn’t require a bathroom or a litter box, but it is equipped with several interesting interactive features. Capable of being programmed in a variety of languages, the BellaBot can play music, sing “Happy Birthday,” and react to human touch.
The BellaBot is useful, adorable, and equipped with attitude, making it a good fit for Philly, but I know Philadelphians well enough to realize that if a BellaBot threatened a single human job, it could find itself sleeping at the bottom of the Schuylkill River or dismembered in a dark alley. He said the BellaBot cuts down on the miles of steps his servers walk in the restaurant every day and it aids in carrying heavy loads. When someone calls out sick, the BellaBot can be activated to shoulder the burden, Tsao said.about my concern for technological advancements that diminish or eliminate the need for human interactions, after having lunch at EMei twice recently, I didn’t find that to be the case.
