: For food? Can't go wrong with squid n' stuff. Not actual stuff though, that's just gross. You can get some from a stall here.
Yukamo stops walking suddenly and starts fishing through her pockets.
: stuff, you guys use dollars, I gotta give you some of the local currency.
Taking out her wallet, she hands you a wad of Kintharian paper money.
: Go get something to eat, the stalls around here all have the menus in multiple languages so you should be fine. I'll go get our bags and meet you in the food court.
She points towards the food court. It looks like all the stores are fully automated, with either touchscreen-only inputs or synthetic attendants.

put ASIMO (or rather, just its upper body on a track) behind the counter
Mr. Hurricane:
Well stuff what does Helios have then?
Qwepir:
The bots that take orders in a Kintharian food stall are "dumb" AIs and don't even acknowledge things that aren't relevant to their work. Their responses are limited to stuff like "Hello, may I take your order", "Our daily special is [variable]", "That will be [variable] moneys", and of course, "I'm sorry, I didn't understand that".
Helian domestic robots on the other hand are capable of human levels of intelligence. You can actually hold a conversation with your Helian robot butlers and whatnot. Helian combat automata are equally intelligent, at least when it comes to tactics and risk assessment, but have a more limited vocabulary and a few essential rules of robotics ripped out. For very good reasons, Helians have not attempted to build machines capable of self-improvement.
tl;dr Kintharian robots are mindless drones, while Helian ones are actually intelligent.
