Robot Powered By Nvidia AI The Latest In Robotically-Operated Baristas – CoffeeTalk

A humanoid robot, the Adam from Richtech Robotics, is set to start serving customers coffee and desserts at a new Las Vegas restaurant. The Adam robot will work alongside store associates who sell items Adam cannot prepare, such as snacks or bottled drinks. The robot uses the Nvidia edge AI computing module for human detection, interaction, and object recognition. The AI-enabled machines can accept commands in languages and translate to recommend drinks.

The announcement marks the official launch of the innovative food and beverage brand, Clouffee and Tea, marking the company’s ability to leverage AI-powered robotics to drive real revenue in the hospitality industry. The restaurant is the first store from the Richtech Robotics Clouffee and Tea brand, with additional stores opening soon.

At CES in Las Vegas in January, Richtech showcased robotics for use in the hospitality and health care industries and an autonomous delivery robot. The most prominent robots were targeted at serving, including the Adam interactive robot designed to serve beverages and Scorpion, an AI-powered, one-arm drink serving robot.

The Adam robot can serve a variety of coffee and boba drinks to customers and can serve up to 200 cups of coffee and tea per day. Richtech has expanded its automated restaurant operations to more than 20 Walmart stores in Arizona, Colorado, and Texas.

Adam is used via an integrated touchscreen point-of-sale system for customer ordering and paying. The company uses its AI cloud platform to analyze restaurant, hotel, and hospital operational workflows after robots are deployed.
