"Robot Coffee" is just right sweet, this is "the taste of intelligence"

For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

After unmanned convenience stores and unmanned clothing stores, China's first AI robot coffee shop has landed in Shenzhen. It is understood that in this coffee shop, in addition to robot baristas and robot waiters, there are more artificial intelligence products for decoration and experience.

After unmanned convenience stores and unmanned clothing stores, China's first AI robot coffee shop was unveiled at C101 (hard Egg), a research base produced by China University of Geosciences, No. 8 Yuexing Road, Nanshan, Shenzhen, on the afternoon of Sept. 19. It is jointly built by hard Egg Space and Rethink Robotics, and the whole coffee shop is completely controlled and served by robots and intelligent devices.

According to the introduction of hard eggs, the name of this coffee shop is "AI Coffee". It is a coffee shop full of robots. In the coffee shop, there will be robot baristas, robot waiters, as well as a variety of artificial intelligence devices and mysterious technological elements. Customers only need to place an order on the desktop through an electronic screen, and the intelligent coffee machine will grind the coffee. The Sawyer God hand robot developed by Rethink Robotics completes the delivery of the coffee, and the robot waiter delivers the coffee to the customer. The whole process is done by the robot.

Many citizens are full of joy to experience the service of robot coffee. Sit opposite the robot and enjoy the freshly ground coffee carefully made by the robot for customers, as if it is in line with science and technology. An experiencer told reporters that "robot coffee" is just right sweet and has a "smart taste".

Sawyer is a new generation of robotic arm robot developed by Rethink Robotics, which can transport coffee freely and flexibly. At the same time, Rethink Robotics is also one of the core partners of Intel & hard Robot Ecology.

So, how do you control these robots to coordinate their work and successfully interact with customers? This is due to the K system of the hard egg lab. K-system is a completely open artificial intelligence enabling platform developed by hard Egg Lab, which can help third-party applications and third-party intelligent devices use the voice and image capabilities of the platform to provide corresponding services. The voice interaction, cooperation and other functions of robots and other intelligent devices in the coffee shop will be controlled by K system.

The person in charge of the hard Egg Robot Cafe said: "as the first AI robot coffee shop in China, hard Egg takes it as an important attempt of artificial intelligence in the application scene, opening a window for the establishment of artificial intelligence business ecology." The empowerment of the K system can make it easier for robots to interact with people, and connect robots and intelligent devices. "

Hard eggs also revealed that unlike other unmanned stores, AI Coffee is more like an ecological pavilion of artificial intelligence. There are not only robot baristas and robot waiters in the coffee shop, but also a variety of intelligent devices, including intelligent LED lights, intelligent thermostats and so on. In order to improve the experience of young people, multiple fun links and experiential science and technology projects will be arranged at the scene to make AI more interesting.
