Orion Star Technology's Zhi Ka Master goes above and beyond the average coffee maker, as it's actually a fully automated robotic coffee-making system. Complete with twin-arm robotics, the robot barista prepares cups of hand-poured coffee with ease.
Just like using a coffee machine, the robot barista can be activated with the press of a button, and the system's software makes necessary adjustments for a secure mechanical grip. Thanks to a built-in RGB camera, the robot can respond in real-time, and it can be stopped as needed to prevent mishaps. The robotic coffee maker occupies three square meters and it has the potential to uplevel the way coffee lovers experience their morning and mid-day brews.
Fully automated robot systems are becoming more and more common, and they appeal to the growing need for safe food and beverage creation, as well as a sense of theatrics.
