Futuristic Serving Robot Trial Starts at Imazu’s Yakiniku Kacchan

The “Yakiniku Kacchan” in Imazu, which we wrote about the other day, seems to be doing something futuristic and fun again～(^_^)

Here’s our article about Yakiniku Kacchan↓↓

The new Yakiniku Katchan in Imazu is amazing with food arriving like Kappa Sushi’s bullet train and lemon sour taps at every table

According to our source, PRTIMES, it looks like the “Kacchan Group” is starting a trial at two of its locations using SoftBank Robotics’ food-serving and delivery robot “Servi”.

Apparently the name Servi comes from “Serv” as in serving, plus “i” for love😀

What is “Servi”?

• It rotates 360 degrees, so it’s easy to take dishes from any side
• Simple operation: just choose the destination and press the GO button　I want to try pressing the Go button
• It can clear lots of dishes in one trip, too (up to 35 kg)Maybe about the average weight of a 10- or 11-year-old?
• Excellent stability　Looks like you wouldn’t have to worry about soup spilling
• It can move smoothly even through 60 cm-wide aisles　That’s a sleek body
• With a 3D camera and LiDAR sensor, it can pass by people smoothly　Apparently LiDAR can measure distance to objects and detect their characteristics
• It smoothly avoids small obstacles, too　Feels like it just glides around
• It has a weight sensor, and once items are picked up, it automatically returns to the pantry　So smart

When Servi Will Be There

Finally

If you’d like to see the futuristic Servi in action serving food, why not stop by Yakiniku Kacchan during the trial period? In Nishinomiya City, Servi will be at the Imazu Ekimae location. Please note that it’s only there for a limited time.
By the way, it looks like Servi will also be at the Sunshine Wharf Kobe location during the same period.
