Two Robotic Wok Trucks Are Roaming the Streets of Foster City
Two food trucks outfitted with robotic woks are roaming around Foster City, San Francisco Business Times reports. The Olhso Korean BBQ & Seafood trucks, which have arrived in the Bay Area via Seoul, require only one human employee: a driver.

Per the Business Times, Olhso is also planning a permanent restaurant in San Mateo. For now, the trucks are sticking to the Foster City area, but they may expand to broader San Mateo County in the future.
