LEADIN:
Ex-British Prime Minister Theresa May's premiership is living on, but perhaps not how you'd expect.
An English tearoom in the leafy county of Surrey has named a robotic waitress after the former leader. It's called Maybot.
STORYLINE:
Meet Theresa, the Maybot, who - like her namesake - can't deliver Brexit, but can deliver breakfast... sort of.
The new addition to The Tea Terrace restaurant in Cobham, about 19 miles/30 kilometres south west of London, can ferry cups and cakes to guests seated at any of its tables.
The former Prime Minister acquired the nickname "Maybot" after performing a robotic dance to ABBA's "Dancing Queen" at a party conference last year.
In homage to May, the mechanic waitress can churn out a twist on the politician's infamous Brexit slogan: "Brexit means Brexit."
Theresa, the Maybot, says: "Breakfast means breakfast."
"She did say breakfast means breakfast, strong and stable breakfast. It's just to copy Theresa May, as a Brexit means Brexit, strong and stable. It's just for fun, we've done that from the beginning," says branch manager Mantas Burba.
Burba, says "Theresa" has been programmed with a digital map of the floor plan.
She uses in-built sensors to avoid obstacles and smoothly deliver food and drink to customers.
But she can't serve the treats from the tray. That job is down to the guests.
"It does not take orders at the moment and it's not putting the drinks or food on the table. So, she's not doing that," says Burba.
"But I think in the future they will (be) designed to be able to do it. And I think it could be the future."
The Maybot is a 6th generation trackless robot produced by Suzhou Pangolin Robot Corp., Ltd, a Chinese company that specialises in service robots.
Their website outlines the benefit of employing a robotic waiter, highlighting that while human employees work eight hours a day, have variable efficiency, can get ill, take holiday and require salaries, a robot works for twelve-hours straight and has greater commercial value.
While the real Theresa is out of a job, guests believe robots like her mechanical namesake are the future.
"It's just a much more efficient way of ordering and serving a lot of people at the same time," says guest Ruth Taylor.
"I think it's a matter of a certain time you just want a waitress to come up and give you your food, get on and move on. And other times you want to chitchat, but I think she's quite efficient," says guest Vanessa Buosi.
