I feel like robots that definitely donʼt have AI are somehow more charming. Iʼm worried they might get bullied by AI-equipped robots.
The fully automated knife-cut noodle robot at the Chinese restaurant is intriguing.

The fact that it has a proper stand for attaching the head and is set up as a humanoid figure gives it a certain appeal.

I remember feeling inexplicably sad when I went to a restaurant and saw that their fried rice was made by a fried rice robot. Would adding a face to that robot alleviate the sadness?

By making it a cat, they intentionally donʼt give it full functionality, which brings out kind feelings from customers and recipients. (The catʼs charm removes the annoyance of having to bring the food to the table ourselves.) If that fried rice robot wore a cat mask, people might think, "Well, itʼs cute, so itʼs okay if the rice is a bit clumpy..."

When it says something like "Let me through, meow" because chairs are in the way, I thought it was a bit too cute (laughs). Instead of getting annoyed that your food hasnʼt arrived, you end up feeling sorry for it.
