Sharpa North robot at Dairy Queen Shanghai
Humanoid robots are officially leaving the demo phase and stepping into actual commercial spaces. At a Dairy Queen in Shanghai, Sharpa's North unit is handling real orders for customers. It scoops ice cream, tops them up, and delivers the finished treat using the store's own gear and supplies without needing any custom hardware. This move signals a clear shift where these machines are becoming part of daily business operations rather than just stage tricks. #DairyQueen
