Natasha Nesbitt, 6, watched intently through the transparent booth doors as a robotic arm with a horseshoe-like hand prepared her frozen yogurt order, step-by-step: First, a layer of chocolate and vanilla yogurt swirl, then Reese’s Pieces, then another layer of yogurt, and finally a cap of Nerds candy.

The Carnegie Science Center in the North Side has opened a RoboFusion frozen yogurt kiosk in its River View Cafe, which overlooks the Ohio River. Visitors can swipe their credit or debit cards for $6, then use a touch screen to design a four-layered frozen yogurt treat, with two flavors to pick out of chocolate, vanilla or swirl, and two toppings out of six: Mini M&Ms, Reese’s Pieces, granola, Nerds and chocolate or colored sprinkles.

Visitors choose an animated cartoon robot — either Cid, Reis, Rev or Irvy — to entertain them on a backing screen while the snakelike arm robot prepares the order.
