'Majestique' by 'Izzat Hisham is an emotion-sensitive waitress robot for the ICSR 2010 Conceptual Robot Design Competition. The tear-shaped bot is embedded with a menu and touchscreen to take orders, but several other features distinguish it from other restaurant robots we've seen in the past.
For starters, 'Majestique' by 'Izzat Hisham has little 'hands' you can squeeze when you're getting impatient for your food. These hands even move so the robot can gesticulate as it communicates with your table.
