In the current times when social distancing and contactless service have become the new normal, Pepper has joined hands with Eka and Tony robots at Abu Dhabi’s first gelato bar entirely staffed by robots. QUOKKA, a local UAE-based company that is devoted to serving the best quality of gelato with a unique twist of robotic technology, has partnered with NISKA Retail Robotics, an Australian-born tech start-up pioneering the emerging trends of robotization of retail, to open this ice cream store in the United Arab Emirates. The store is present inside the premises of Marina Mall, Abu Dhabi, and operates every day during the working hours of 9 AM till 10:30 PM.

Jacky’s Business Solutions is one of the pioneering leaders in the innovation and marketing of humanoid robots for Softbank Robotics for the GCC. As the master distributor, Jacky’s team worked along with NISKA’s technical team to integrate their solution with Pepper. Initially owning Luka chocolates and after discovering fewer growth prospects, NISKA decided to go for a technological approach wherein operations could be consistent worldwide. Their main aim was to revolutionize the retail market through a fully integrated system that utilizes cutting-edge robotic technology.

Pepper has been deployed as a sales assistant at the store to proceed with the orders from the Robotics ice cream vending machine. He greets the customers and assists them with suggestions on gelato flavours and instructs them on placing orders. He also engages the customers by playing or dancing with them or taking a selfie. Additionally, he suggests customers follow the shop’s Instagram.
