Japan is a country at the cutting edge of robotics technology. While many advances in robotics are utilized in factories and other industries, they are also finding their way into restaurants! Today, Shizuka explores the fascinating world of robot cafes and restaurants.
From a long, robotic arm preparing award-winning coffee, to robotic avatars controlled by people with disabilities, Tokyo’s robot cafes are a peek into what the future of dining may look like. Can a robot make a coffee as well as a professional barista? Are Peper robots the dining companions of the future? Join Shizuka as she interacts with the robots of Tokyo!

What do you think of robot cafe concept? Cool or Not cool? 😎

[@Shuai807]

I think the concept is super cool! We are headed towards a tech driven world and that excites me! Great video Shizuka and team.

[@edgyweeeb5334]

Cool cool cool

[@camovecmin4968]

its really cool indeed!

[@Bostonn8]

Absolutely amazing. I worry about the consequences for servers, however it seems the restaurant still had a host. But it's a wonderful and unique idea and execution! Thank you for sharing!!!

[@Absurd000]

cool! those robots are adorable lol

[@deebzeal8204]

That cafe with actual people behind the robots are really brilliant! Especially if it gives opportunity for the disabled to work... I would support that kind of place 200%! 🙌

[@edster8416]

That cafe with the avatar concept is really good outlook for the future for sure. Imagine disabled people who still have special set of skills can get a second chance in what they do best not specifically in restaurant but other things like painting, care , constructions.

[@JapanbyFood]

Yes, it really brings hope to the people who for various reasons leave their homes! we love the concept!

[@rtjahyadi7868]

This is why Japan 🇯🇵 is the future, they’re always steps ahead the rest of the world 🌎

[@slavianalbanovich9025]

Thanks to the time difference, they are ahead of most of the world, apart from a few countries in Oceania.

[@alharding01]

That is soooooo cool!!! I especially love the concept of the last restaurant helping people with disabilities continue working. I’ll definitely be checking these places out when we (hopefully) travel to Japan next year.

[@JapanbyFood]

Yes, it had the biggest impact on us too!

[@Bostonn8]

These are absolutely incredible! What an experience and technology! Hopefully we start getting something like this in the US! Can't wait for my trip to Tokyo!!

[@JapanbyFood]

It was an amazing experience!

[@romanwalczak7748]

Wow, Japan is 5 stars. I always said Japan is 2 steps ahead of rest of the world in technology. I love Japanese cars too

Japan is always top notch

[@JapanbyFood]

We could not agree more!

I love that one cafe is inspired by Blue Bottle Coffee when the founder of Blue Bottle was inspired by Japanese coffee when he started the company.

[@JapanbyFood]

Very cool!!!

that was really interesting shizika....I especially like the last cafe since it also provided work for people who couldn't work in person for one reason or another....great idea...

I love when you are standing in front of the three Peppers they were all turned slightly towards you, as if they were interested in what you were doing.

Great video! The robots are so nice and polite!

[@JapanbyFood]

Yes they are!

[@eugenejustin5314]

Ms. Shizuka smile is enough to make my day better.

[@homeboy510]

Great implementation of technology, if the robots will be multi-lingual. I don't speak Japanese and have been intimidated by going to Japan alone. I hope DAWN expands to more locations - I would pay a small fee at every establishment to talk to someone that is bi-lingual with English as one of the languages. I can see this as a great gig for people that knows at least two languages to help a guest make an order - imagine a Japanese person going to Rome and taking to someone remotely that can speak Italian and Japanese.

[@JapanbyFood]

That is actually the plan! From what we have heard it seems that these robots are already placed at cafes in Europe!

[@michaelsasano8622]

This was an amazing video! I loved it! Another great place to add to my growing list on what to do when tourists can return to Japan. Thank you Shizuka for sharing these incredible places. 😊

pretty cool, I prefer interacting with an actual person though most of the time, although it's great to see some of them give opportunities for people to work from home, anyways it's Summer time and you know what that means, bbq! Robots are ok, but would rather see more Robata videos!

[@JapanbyFood]

Yes, it was lovely to see that the cafe empowers people with disabilities and gives them a chance to work from home! More summer videos coming!

[@marieazrak1951]

Good idea

[@reecepierce]

I would get ice coffee from that cafe I didn't know pepper parlor was a thing but I heard about pepper the robot Dawn Cafe is cool if I was working at one at home it be fun and nice how she mentions disability workers I wish these were in America 🇺🇸 Bring to New Hampshire

I will go with my son this coming July in Tokyo. Can't wait thanks for sharing

So good to give disabled people an opportunity to have responsibilities and to have a more fulfilling life.

[@billshepherd4331]

Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. So far so good at those cafes. Another fun video!
