# Robot Barista Justine Makes Coffee By Bianca | Published 2008-02-23 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robot-barista-justine-coffee References: [dvice](http://dvice.com/archives/2008/02/italian_robot_m.php) Too lazy to get up and make that cup of joe? Apparently some Italians were so fed up with the brewing process, they set their sites on creating a [barista robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artly-ai) that does it for them. At first glance, Justine looks like a compilation of Red Bull cans, but the [coffee making robot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidework-dispenser) by the DEXMART project is a lot more complex, having features such as sMART sensory-motor skills. Sound too good to be true? Well, if you're a real coffee connoisseur, it is, you won't be so thrilled. Justine's not quite ready for people who expect a quality caffeine fix as the robot is only capable of making the instant stuff. Blech. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Unique](https://www.trendhunter.com/unique) > [Inventions](https://www.trendhunter.com/inventions) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Automated Coffee Making:** The development of Justine, a coffee making robot, shows a trend towards automated coffee making technology. - **Smart Sensory-motor Skills:** The inclusion of sMART sensory-motor skills in Justine demonstrates a trend towards the integration of advanced technologies in robotics. - **Convenience-focused Automation:** Justine's creation is evidence of a trend towards convenience-focused automation in the food and beverage industry. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food and Beverage:** Justine's creation has disruptive innovation opportunities in the food and beverage industry by automating coffee making. - **Robotics:** Justine's advanced functionality highlights the potential for innovation in the robotics industry, particularly the integration of sensory-motor skills. - **Consumer Electronics:** The development of Justine provides opportunities for innovation in the consumer electronics industry by creating domestic products focused on convenience and automation. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Automated Robot Baristas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-barista.md) - [AI-Powered Robot Baristas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ella-robot-barista.md) - [AI-Powered Robotic Baristas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookright-coffee.md) - [Automated Barista Coffee Makers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/breville-oracle-jet.md) - [Conversational Robot Baristas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kubi.md) - [Robotic Coffee Waiters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/second-cup-coffee-company.md) - [Robotic Beverage Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frazybot.md) - [Beverage Dispensing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ottobot-brew.md) - [AI-Driven Robotic Beverage Machines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-beverage-machine.md)
