At noon on December 16, students lined up in a long line in front of the "robot food vending machine" in a teaching building on the central campus of Shandong University.

Braised chicken, diced pork with pickled vegetables, braised pork ribs... The self-service rice vending machine provides students with about 10 kinds of lunch sets, ranging from 10 yuan to 12 yuan, so that students can get out of the classroom immediately after class.

Students only need to click on the screen, select the package, swipe the card to pay the bill, and the meal can be picked up within a few seconds.

Many students waiting in line said that they can eat hot meals without leaving the building in winter, which is very convenient. They hope that besides lunch, the vending machine can also sell breakfast and hot soup.
