The technology powering the android waiters was partly developed locally by young people from the University of Mosul.
From the rubble of Iraq's war-ravaged city of Mosul arises the sight of androids gliding back and forth in a restaurant to serve their amused clientele. The futuristic servers are the result of technology developed in part in the northern city, formerly the stronghold of the militant Islamic State group.
A new kind of pizzeria opens in the Beaubourg district of central Paris, and it comes with a twist: the service, from order-taking to cutting slices and putting the pizzas in boxes, is provided by robots. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITE
