Robot barista serves coffee at CES 

Could be programmed ... ;)

He’s definitely cute.

He’s doing the best he can I’m sure they don’t want to burn him out😂

@@james_giant_peach we could learn to take our time doing things, immerse in the process, to be present would give much fulfillment and joy. His motions seem full of hope. 😌🥰

I used to work in an airport as a mechanic providing maintenance to aeroplanes, anyway, one night I went to buy a coffee in one of those coffee machines you're talking about, to my surprise though, the coffee was topped with some delicious small cockroaches, never bought again.

@@angelsv Ours always came with a generous dusting of Chicken soup mix...

Your boomer life sounds horrible

Yeah but they complain a lot, also you pay for this thing ones and it works forever

Right now it's slower. Not for long.

Guess what the barista is not doing when this robot is there. Guess how long this robot can work for. Guess how precise this robot can be. Guess how fast you can retrain this robot. Guess how many raises it's gonna ask for. Guess if it's gonna join some union or not. Boomer ahh comment.

Well, a vending machine coffee/drink maker can make, I think around, 3-4 drinks in the same time frame.

@@james_giant_peach It's hard to see the advantage of this over a vending machine style coffee dispenser

Give it time. It's work in progress. It will improve and become faster.

I’m sure he’s trying his best I remember when I was a barista 😂

Though humans can also express anger towards customers which can damage company brand reputation . Robots will not

what if the robot offers to take you into the bathroom for a hand job?

@@gilberttorres8 Robots can evoke a lot of frustration though. Giant self checkout can explode with one wrong move, leading to an extra 5 minutes of waiting for "help." I can imagine a similar scenario where someone orders a drink from the robot and it either gives them the wrong drink or it never even ends up making it. What happens next when human intervention is needed? Does it disrupt anyone else's drinks, slowing down the process further? Viable robot baristas are still a ways off given the current state of customer service robots. Also any barista getting hostile towards your average customer should be fired.

Yea it'll become a luxury, about the experience. Like anything that is hand made even though it can technically be made in the factory.

I agree

I mean, you'll never have to pay a tip anymore.

@@SuperEman500 The thing I'm looking forward to the most. That and never seeing any articles about "muh worker wage, life, healthcare, blablabla" nonsense.

@@ItsMeChillTymeYou...are tired of humans wanting life and healthcare?

Lol, it won't be cheaper for the customer. It will just increase profits for shareholders and further increase inequality

Spot on, Peter!

😂❤

Maybe the same company that has hog tied McDonald's shake machines can do the servicing.

@@RandoCommenter123 🤣

Fantastic comment ❤

That's a great question

So have 2 "ADAMS" side by side. That'll speed things up!

@@lancereagan3046 😂😂

@@lancereagan3046 I wonder how they will be during the rush?? 😂😂

Not if we tax the owner to make up for the lack of employment.

You can say the same about machines. All machines do work what humans did. This comment would be carried to you on an animal by some dude over a month across many lands just to think. What a shallow thought.

Yea singapore has had those arm kiosks for lots of things since 3 years now. This just seems to be a two armed version of that. I'm not sure the bot is required for this task. Preprogrammed routes for an arm would be much better.

Don't make fun of the disabled. 😢

No every 15 minutes breaks. No need to unionize. No demand for better working conditions. No demand customers give generous tips on top of the high price drinks. No demand for 35 hours work week with 40 hours pay.

@@maestrovsobeautiful thing for the owner and robot manufacturer. One food for thought is for businesses utilizing AI and robots. Would the government allow the bypass of employment taxes?

No tips needed, you pay coffee + tax.

look how slow that mf is, he isn't stealing anyones job as CES is meant to display new tech.

Like state bureaucrats being lobbied to cherry pick and FORCE only a certain sector of the economy to pay workers $20 min wage, where you get THIS response by companies? (Funny how things aren’t always black and white like corrupt politicians make them out to be, huh? )

I mean this isn’t valuable work though. You can’t afford to survive on a barista salary. Maybe we should learn to tax businesses owners at a higher rate to make up for the lost employment?

For how long? Ever think of that?

You pay for coffee and tax only, no tips needed anymore.

It helps the wealthiest 1 percent

"B..bu...but what about the "warmth" that you feel from a human mispelling your name, dude?" idiots in this comment section be like.

I hope those unemployed button pushers come after you after retraining to be lawyers.

@@joefilter2923 imagine thinking this... like believing people hopping the border to be rocket scientists.
