Eating ice cream in the winter is really a challenge, especially for those living in the freezing northeasten Chinese region. But the operator of a shopping mall in Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning province, invited a robot to make ice cream for customers to have a try. The humanoid robot, named Robot Wen, was bought for 1.5 million yuan ($241,000) and is able to make a cup of ice cream within one minute. It offers six flavors, each of which is priced at 20 yuan and is discounted to 10 yuan during the opening promotion.[Photo/IC]
