Remember Cafe X, the robot coffee shop we introduced earlier? Unlike the first generation of robotic coffee kiosks called Robotic Coffeebar 2.0, which recently launched on the streets of downtown San Francisco, the new coffee shop will wave to customers after buying coffee, which is quite interesting.

▲, the new Cafe X robot, is a stand-alone kiosk.

According to thespoon, the new Cafe X robot is a stand-alone kiosk located on the sidewalk in San Francisco's financial district. The difference from the first generation is that in addition to its updated appearance, it can handle a variety of beverage sizes (8 oz and 12 oz), even clean cups, and make injected cold brewed coffee.

Similar to the sleepless cloud coffee robot Briggo, Cafe X plans to place machines in commercial buildings, airports or other crowded areas so that people can experience quality coffee through automation.

Customers can order drinks through their mobile phone or through the tablet computer next to the platform, and there will be clerks next to the coffee booth to help customers who want to buy coffee prompt the ordering process and help customers choose coffee.

▲ Briggo Cafe directly enter the number, customers can directly take away the coffee.

Briggo uses the latest cloud technology, allowing customers to place orders through their mobile phones or computer networks at any time, allowing coffee robots to help create a golden proportion of their own coffee, and knowing the production time for each cup of coffee, which can be completed in about 3 minutes, and then go to Briggo Cafe to enter the number directly, and customers can directly take away the coffee.

Cafe X is more like a high-end machine than a traditional robot than Briggo,Briggo, which looks like a robot hidden in a self-service room, while Cafe X is more open behind a huge glass pane, showing the front and center of the robot arm.

"We want people to see robots making drinks and don't simply think they're just vending machines," Henry Hu, chief executive of Cafe X, said in an interview.

It is worth mentioning that after people experience the robot brewing coffee, Cafe X's robotic arm will wave to the customer after buying a good drink.

"the main reason for using robotic arms is that they can be modular, which is more convenient when they want to change the style of coffee," Mr. Hu said.

Cafe X has previously opened at San Francisco's Metreon Shopping Mall, with only one 6-axis robotic arm that can make more than 100 cups of coffee per minute, and customers can place an order with a mobile phone or tablet computer. If the coffee is cold and the customer doesn't take it away, the robot will pour out the cold coffee.

Henry Hu also said that in the future, the company will introduce new coffee booths and license them to other places around the world, and that Cafe X will launch more independent coffee booths in San Francisco in the near future.
