Surrounded by curious customers, a robot slices noodles in front of a noodle restaurant in Wenling city, East China's Zhejiang province, on December 11, 2011, the third day of the robot's noodle chef career. Wang Yao, owner of the restaurant, ordered the robot at about 20,000 yuan after seeing it on TV and estimates it will take less than 2 years to get back his money.[Photo/CFP]
