Meet the $25,000 robo-barista that can serve 400 people per day

The days of waiting in a long line at your favorite coffee shop are numbered. Called Café X, the $25,000 machine is designed with a Mitsubishi robot arm and is programmed with pre-defined movements like grabbing cups and pumping syrup. The robo unit can make 120 cups of coffee an hour and is basically a fully operational café beneath a six-axis animatronic arm. The bot fills between 300 and 400 orders a day, and prices are kept low. A California startup unveiled the'first robotic café' capable of making a range of espresso-based beverages in less than a minute using a Mitsubishi robot arm Cafe X Technologies unveiled its first kiosk in San Francisco last year, which combines machine learning and robotics.
