A robot that can make you any drink you want, just as the way you like it. A PhD student at the University of Edinburgh has created a robot that can make you a great cup of coffee, using all the utensils, cups and spoons you would normally use. It was designed by Ruaridh Mon Williams.
When you say, ‘Make me a coffee,’ the AI-powered robot will immediately open the shelves on the table and take the necessary items. The seven-jointed robot will slowly pick up a mug, add coffee powder, milk and hot water, and make a cup of coffee. It has seven sensors to accurately understand the ingredients. However, in the first test, the AI robot took four minutes to find a cup.
Humanoid robots have now begun to be assigned to do tasks that are difficult or boring for humans. These methods, which can be used to make a coffee on the spot without having to go to the kitchen during work, will be useful in the future. The estimated cost of the robot is £40,000.
