A vending machine assisted by a talking robot that serves deep fried snacks and beverages has been introduced in India by a Delhi based engineer, according to a Hindustan Times report.

A YouTube video shows how the machine allows customers to order and pay for a pack of gol gappa snacks using a QR code.

The packet contains the puris, a potato mix. The customer can also get a glass of flavored water from nozzles on the machine.

An AI-powered humanoid robot next to the machine answers questions.
