Wildlands - a popular zoo in Emmen, Netherlands - has welcomed its newest member of staff - AISA the serving robot.

Short for Artificial Intelligence Serving Assistant, AISA is supporting its human members of staff in the zoo’s Momma’s Restaurant, with guests using a QR code to process their order with AISA then delivering them their meals.

AISA is also a unique draw for guests, being the first such robot to be used by a zoo.

“As a park, we like to pioneer and we are known for our adventurous character,” said Richard Dekkers, retail manager at Wildlands. “AISA is a nice addition to this. It’s not only useful but also provides an extra experience for visitors. AISA is electrically powered, so is sustainable too.”
