Yes, despite some difficulties in the field of robotization, robots are becoming more common. Of course, only the most well-to-do people can afford the most advanced types of humanoid robots, but the situation is slowly changing. For example, a restaurant has opened in China, where there are no attendants at all - only robots. But robots-cooks work here, plus even robots-dancers.
In this restaurant, robots take orders from visitors, robots bring order, robots prepare food, and robots entertain people. In cooking, there are still some stages that cannot be entrusted to robots, so mechanical chefs are helped by human chefs. In total, the restaurant, which was named Dalu Robot, has 15 robots.

All of them were created by the efforts of the engineers of Shandong Dalu Science and Technology Co completely from scratch. That is, the specialists of the company did not use ready-made developments, the design and manufacture of each robot was conducted individually, from the first to the last screw, so to speak.
By the way, the cost of robots is not as high as in the case of Japanese or French robots, which can cost a couple of million dollars. Chinese robots-restaurateurs cost about six thousand dollars for a robot. You have to agree that for a chain of restaurants such money is not a problem, especially since people do not need to pay wages (except for a couple of assistant chefs).
It is worth noting that robots do not interfere with visitors - no accidents and “accidents” occur, since mechanical restaurateurs are equipped with motion sensors and obstacle detection, including people themselves. Of course, there are some drawbacks to this service, but the work of robots is improved as problems are detected.
