In July 2024, Beijing issued the first catering business license to a robot chef, pioneering the regulation of embodied intelligence application in the country's catering industry, the Global Times reporter learned from the official website of Beijing Municipal Government.

After obtaining the first license for making hot food using automated equipment last year, Joybing Robot has completed deliveries of nearly 100 pancake-making robots. The order volume for the robot is expected to reach 5,000 to 10,000 units this year.

"The integration of automated machinery in food production and sales represents an innovative approach within the catering industry," Yu said.

Yu's company plans to expand the service to other application scenarios and roll out robots capable of steaming and baking, further broadening the applications of the AI-powered catering industry.
