Where can you go to have pizza served by robots?

Answer: Multan, Pakistan

The ancient city of Multan, Pakistan, is home to an upscale pizza restaurant where meals are brought to diners via robot “waitresses.” As Yahoo Tech reported, Pizza.com owner Osama Jafari designed the prototype robots himself and said the creations have boosted business.

The 24-year-old, who studied engineering at Islamabad’s National University of Sciences and Technology, also said Chinese robot waiters are what inspired him to build his approximately $6,000 fleet of robot waitresses. All of the parts for the autonomous creations were fabricated locally.

Jafari said he is already working on the next generation, which he hopes will be more interactive.
