The world's first retail cabin completely serviced by a robot opened in Beijing on Thursday, bringing drinks to curious customers eager to experience this new application of China's cutting-edge robotic technology. Occupying a stall of 9 square meters, the robot salesclerk "Galbot" can complete all the necessary tasks to sell beverages -- receiving clients, placing orders, and fetching products. The robot can even interact with customers in different languages. Currently, coffee and bottled drinks are provided in the cabin. "This store can stay open round the clock without anyone attending to it," said Wen Ai'rong, vice president of Beijing Galaxy Bot, the maker of Galbot. The cabin is expected to serve an average of 2,000 clients and 500 orders per day. In the future, Galaxy Bot hopes to open more robot-operated cabins at major junctions and scenic areas in the city, as well as offer a more diverse selection of products.
