ADAM by Richtech Robotics is a two-armed robot that uses grip handles to make specific drinks and at CES 2023, the robot showed off its skills in making bubble tea. Using a digital touchscreen, guests at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas got to input their order and see it prepared by the dexterous robot.
With a fruity or milky base, and chewy additions, there are all sorts of bubble tea beverages that can be enjoyed, and made with ease thanks to ADAM.
As described by Timothy Tanksley of Richtech Robotics, "ADAM is intended to be basically a way to attract guests and a way to make drinks fully automated and very efficient." ADAM can be rented for events or hired full-time, and in between making drinks, ADAM can dance to keep people entertained.
