SoftBank Robotics Expands AI & Robotics Solutions for Foodservice in EMEA

SoftBank Robotics UK Ltd. today announced that it will showcase its AI & Robotics solutions for foodservice at EquipHotel 2026, taking place in Paris, France, from 2 to 5 November 2026, as part of its efforts to expand foodservice automation initiatives across the EMEA region.

Hospitality and foodservice operators continue to face operational challenges, including labour shortages, difficulties in recruiting skilled staff, rising costs, inconsistent food quality, and food waste. SoftBank Robotics aims to help address these challenges through robotics and automation, supporting more efficient, consistent and flexible foodservice operations.

STEAMA is a steam-based cooking robot that uses high-pressure, high-temperature steam to prepare frozen noodle dishes in about 90 seconds. Designed for simple, one-touch operation, it helps operators consistently serve freshly prepared dishes with ease.

FLAMA and BOTINKIT Omni are automated cooking solutions that improve kitchen efficiency and consistency. FLAMA automates key cooking processes, while BOTINKIT Omni can prepare up to 30 servings at a time for high-volume foodservice operations.

Servi Q, jointly developed by SoftBank Robotics and Bear Robotics, is a next-generation serving robot designed for use in compact venues. Servi Q uses an AI-powered navigation system to navigate complex and space-constrained environments. With a body width of just 35 cm, Servi Q can navigate aisles as narrow as 45 cm — the narrowest in its class — and features an industry-first* reversing capability.
SoftBank Robotics is the exclusive global seller of Servi Q and will work together with Bear Robotics to expand its global reach.

* As of September 2026. Based on research by Bear Robotics, Inc. covering autonomous serving robots available for sale.
