This Robot Barista Serves Up Custom, Cloud-Powered Coffee
• Wired.comCustomers place their orders on a touch screen built into the robot’s wooden facade, or they can key in an emergency cappuccino order through the companion iPhone app. After patrons choose their beverage type—lattes, Americanos, and plain black coffee are just a few of the options—dairy, sweeteners, and flavor shots can be added to taste. The recipe is stored in the cloud for future use, the Briggo bot whirs into action, grinding fresh beans, and when it’s finished, it sends a text message to the customer.
