Maybe DR needs Robot Restaurants first to save on staff costs.

yes, we need some high tech answers to the onerous costs of paying waiters in the DR. i mean, who can stay in business paying 2000 pesos per quincennal? that type of money will bankrupt the treasury, for chrissake.

Latter day luddites!

DR must invest to stay ahead!



It's green as well - energy consumption much less than an employee!

glad i could be of service, Belly. by the way, welcome back. ABC wants to invest 50,000 dollars in a robot, plus the costs of energy, and maintenance, to avoid paying Belkis to take the plates to the table.

Thanks.

As for ABC 50,000 dollar budget all I can say is good luck finding 1 of the probably at least 10 Software engineers to just design the software and AI(Artificial Intelligence) because on avg most A.I. programmers make US$90,000 to US$115,000 plus benefits each. That's not even counting building a facility and getting the hardware design,tested and ready plus the cost related to R&D.

US$50,0000 x RD$37.00 = RD$1.85 million which would cover Belkis salary for the next 20 YEARS of service and not requiring any maintenance and easily replaceable if you know what I mean.

We cannot even get business people to think past next month and you going to need some luck to get them to think that by firing Belkis and building a US$50,000 robot they would save some money after 20 years of service by the robot.

and good luck trying to get pedro to order some chicharron y tostones from a robot at a local joint. LOL

No forward thinking here! A desktop calculator used be $2,000 in the 50's. Now equivalent function $3.

Huge development space.

Wait a minute I have to recharge my robotic floor cleaner!

RE: Huge new market.
I wanna be the first in line to order a robot. I want my robot to have the characteristics of Pee-Wee Herman with a micro-nuclear reactor as the heart and I want it produce Dollar coins, dispensed from the rear lower part of the torso.
