Canonical robot record
Overview
The Keenon DINERBOT T8 is an indoor autonomous delivery and service robot made by Keenon Robotics, a Chinese service-robotics company. It is positioned for the hospitality and commercial market, where it carries food, drinks, and other items between staff stations and customers. Its compact footprint is intended to let it operate in restaurants and other venues with tight aisles and narrow passages.
The robot relies on an onboard vision and sensing system for autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance, allowing it to move through busy, dynamic indoor spaces while avoiding people and objects. Keenon markets the platform across a range of settings including restaurants, hotels, bars, schools, hospitals, and shopping malls.
The DINERBOT T8 was recognized with Japan's Good Design Award in 2023, an honor highlighting its design and usability. Note: this record could not be completed against a live, fetchable primary source. Keenon's official site (keenon.com) was unreachable at research time (the CDN returned an offline status), and archival mirrors were inaccessible, so all hard specifications, dimensions, price, release year, and source URLs are left null pending confirmation from a loadable official page.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.
