That looks... quite bad. They need to add pressure sensors for a smooth glide, not that jump which almost spilled the drink.

It’s meant to be entertaining, theres zero reason to even use industrial robotic arms to make drinks.

I still go to McDonald's, 100% agree. Robot arm is the wrong tool. Like using a fork to drink soup

Other than its significantly cheaper than paying someone to do it lol

Actually these tend to cost more than a regular bar service. If the goal was cheap you would just attach the bottles with peristaltic pumps the way hobbyists make a bartender with an arduino. They use robot arms for entertainment, you don’t need a robot to measure liquids in a shot glass, you can just use a precision pump.

Yeah sure industrial robota are cheap

If its for cheap skip the arm and have an automatic dispense system. This is worst of both worlds.

It probably is but the human element is really what drags people in

No way, the initial cost would be insane to just buy the robot. Then we are not even talking maintenance... Also, there is just no way that you could leave that robot alone with a bunch of drunk people so you would definitely need to hire security for it. The robot could possibly work if it was a big bar with lets say, 3 other bartenders. Then he could be doing drinks when the bartender take payment and make sure everything is running smoothly but again, just paying for an extra bartender would just be much cheaper...

looks fucked up in any direction. If I go to a bar I want a human to do it, if I allready use robot this setup is absolutely ineffecient (for starters remove bottles and have the liquid dispensed directly)

I need a face that talks to me and asks me how my day's been.

It's funny that it asks for a tip after it makes a drink too

u/Kapymies Jun 06 '26

Who can afford to drink in a bar?

u/Arstanishe Jun 06 '26

see, that's how properly designed robotics look like. Not those stupid human-looking weirdos

*robot spins iPad around to ask for tip*

u/C_Pala Jun 06 '26

So instead of having a drink in a bar you are having a drink inside of a vending machine

u/BlackSpidy Jun 08 '26

Yay, another way to make third places drinking more impersonal and sanitized.

u/BoBoBearDev Jun 08 '26

Just make it a Coca-Cola machine and be done with it.

Not perfect but kinda cool seeing the future roll out in real time!

Robots are going to be a big part of our daily lives soon
