Japanese Ice Cream Robot (Warning: opera music in videos done circus style.)
Awesome! But does it play happy ice cream truck music? Also "prohibits the entry of persons affiliated with crime syndicates and persons with tattoos" :-(

And now I want ice cream even if it is not served to me by a robot.
Maybe you could get some here?

you know, the opera Carmen is actually about the circus, so there's not really anything strange here.

I wondered about that, but then (too tired to look it up) decided it was really about the bullfights.

This is sort of creepy! The enormous head and little smile.
We've seen the gold standard for creepy Japanese robots.

But I like watching its careful deliberate movements, like how gently it picks up a cone from the stack of cones. And now I want ice cream even if it is not served to me by a robot.
