Artly debuts mini Barista Bot at National Restaurant Association 2025 show
CHICAGO, May 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Artly has unveiled new upgrades to its fully automated robotic barista, the Barista Bot, at the National Restaurant Association 2025 show (NRA). The upgrades include a more compact mini version of the Barista Bot, now only 4ft x 4ft, a bigger refrigerator for increased storage, a customizable design on its countertops to better fit the décor in different settings, and improved learning ability that allows the bot to make even more beverages. Automation and robotics in restaurants are prominent themes at this year's NRA, and there is hardly a more striking example than of the robotic arm on Artly's mini Barista Bot pouring intricate latte art. Designed for coffee shops, event venues, and restaurants, Artly's Barista Bot is built on Artly's Vision-Language-Action (VLA) AI model. Trained using motion capture data provided by world-class baristas, the Barista Bot can already craft 28 hot and iced beverages by replicating the artist's movements, including intricate latte art. Continuous improvements to Barista Bot's learning ability will allow for even more menu options. The Barista Bot has served nearly 1 million cups of coffee since its first model five years ago, has raised over $10 million in funding, and can be found in 15 cafe locations across the US and major expansion plans this year. The upgrades and customization made to the new mini Barista Bot model on display at NRA 2025 were designed to help expand locations by being more versatile and more applicable. This includes countertop options in white, walnut, or the original wood coloring. 'With these new upgrades, Barista Bot is now able to serve more drinks to more customers, becoming a natural addition to cafes that not only better fits the café's aesthetics but serves, fast, consistent and top-quality coffee.' said Yushan Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Artly. 'Our mission is to share culinary artistry with everyone, and we invite NRA attendees to come by and experience it firsthand.' Visit Artly to see the Barista Bot and more in action at the National Restaurant Association Show 2025 at McCormick Place in Chicago, May 17-20, booth #8739.

Artly AI Presents Natural Robotic Hand Upgrade for Barista Bot at Nvidia GTC 2025
SAN JOSE, Calif., March 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Artly AI ('Artly' or 'Company'), a leading AI robotics company specializing in service industry automation, has showcased its upcoming robotic hand upgrade for its Barista Bot robot coffee barista at the Nvidia GPU Technology Conference (GTC) 2025. This upgrade brings the Barista Bot even closer to human-level dexterity, expanding its capability to craft higher-quality artisan coffee drinks. Designed for coffee shops, event venues, and restaurants, Artly's Barista Bot is built on Artly's Vision-Language-Action (VLA) AI model. Trained using motion capture data provided by world-class human baristas, Barista Bot can already craft 28 hot and iced beverages by replicating the artist's movements. The new robotic hand upgrade improves the current gripper system in replicating human motion to better manipulate everyday objects. Due to mechanical differences, a customized gripper cannot perform the same movements as a human hand. They are more suited for grasping specific items and lack the range of motion and flexibility needed to operate complex objects effectively. This is why Artly adopted robotic hands for the Barista Bot. With it, the Barista Bot can quickly adapt to various objects and tools designed for humans, such as cups, spoons, and more. Artly's upgraded robotic hand replicates the natural motions of a human hand with up to 20 degrees of freedom. It also has force feedback and high-precision tactile sensors to manage delicate objects. To further enhance its functionality, Artly is developing additional sensors for food and beverage applications, such as temperature sensors. Artly's robotic platform extends beyond coffee-making. The system can slice fruit, manage glassware, prepare cocktails, and more, making it perfect for restaurants and self-serve kiosks in busy locations like airports. Additionally, since the robotic hand aligns more closely with the motion-captured training data, it can be rapidly trained in other sectors, such as healthcare and logistics. 'With this new upgrade, Barista Bot now moves with even greater agility, mimicking human brewing techniques like never before,' said Yushan Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Artly. 'By integrating our VLA with cutting-edge robotics, we ensure each cup is crafted with the skill and consistency of an award-winning barista. Our mission is to share culinary artistry with everyone, and we invite GTC attendees to experience it firsthand.' At GTC 2025, Artly is demonstrating the robot hand at the Microsoft exhibit located at booth #514. More updates on Artly's robotic hand upgrade will be available on Artly's website in May 2025. About Artly Founded in 2020, Artly has transformed the coffee industry by combining advanced AI with a deep appreciation for artisanal coffee. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, the company provides authentic specialty coffee experiences through its robotic baristas. Since its inception, Artly has raised over $10 million, opened nine locations across the United States, served nearly 1 million cups of coffee, and generated over $5 million in coffee revenue. With a client portfolio that includes Jump Trading, Microsoft, MUJI, Nvidia, and other established companies, Artly is poised to lead the food and beverage automation market while preserving the craftsmanship and artistry behind every cup.
