A robot as a barista: technology meets the art of coffee in a robotic coffee bar
A standardized concept with two variants, the robot coffee bar can be procured at low cost and put together quickly:?
- Kiosk – space-saving and fully automated with a single robot:
- A choice of 12 hot and cold drinks (coffee, tea, hot chocolate)
- Low operating costs and high efficiency, serving up to 400 drinks each time it is loaded
- Fast preparation: 45 seconds per americano
- Café – two robots working in a team with one human barista:
- Robots prepare fresh espresso or americano (hot or cold) and pass on the cup to the next station
- A human barista adds the finishing touches to the drink according to the customer’s request and serves the drink for a perfect treat
Robotic coffee bar: with Coffeed Method, robots serve a variety of coffee specialties to customers.
Robot-guided camera for top-quality, high-speed recordings for the film industry, web industry and more
- Fast and precise at the same time: exactly defined robot motions position the camera extremely precisely, even at high speeds – a decisive factor for all high-speed recordings.
- Flexible: movable robot axes can reach nearly every angle, making them significantly more flexible than classic camera tripods.
- Reproducible recordings: motion sequences that can be repeated any number of times make it possible to filter out interference from external light and avoid reflections – ideal for video material for online shops, for example.
- Simple animation instead of programming: compatibility with the software technology package?KUKA.ready2_animate?makes it particularly simple to set the robot motions.
- Overall systems can be obtained from system partners such as CMOCOS.
Thanks to their speed and precision, KUKA robots with cameras catch every detail – ideal for the food industry, for example.
Cleaning robots for VR glasses: robots perform effective, hygienic cleaning of glasses at VR attractions
The first automated solution for cleaning VR glasses
offers decisive advantages for the special hygiene requirements involved:
- Thorough: precisely programmed robots apply the brushes exactly at the spots needed. The glasses are cleaned mechanically as well as disinfected and treated with UV radiation.
- Consistent: all glasses are cleaned with the same high quality – which is important for customer satisfaction.
- Provides relief: the robot performs monotonous and tiring tasks, thus relieving the human workers.
Automated hygiene solution: KUKA robots clean VR glasses quickly and thoroughly after use.
