Spotted: Through AI technology, the wine storage wall works as an intelligent unit that gives serving suggestions as a sommelier would, helping the owner to organise and maintain their wine collection. A high-speed 8-axis robotic arm aids this, and is programmed to apply minimal pressure in order to protect the bottle which it recognises, loads, scans and dispenses. Three cameras track the movement of the arm from the moment it selects the bottle, to the dispensing, all of which takes 15 seconds. Other facets of the wine wall include facial recognition software, which helps to give and withhold access to either the whole collection or even single, special bottles. Motion sensors are also able to detect unusual movement around the wine, for extra security.

Facial recognition systems can be considered a controversial technology. On the one hand, this technology affects people's privacy. On the other hand, it assists in preventing or detecting violence. And now, in light of the global pandemic, it helps to deter the spread of coronavirus. Nonetheless, like any other technology, facial recognition isn't impeccable, but has vulnerabilities that make it possible to bypass a system.
