Barista Robot Appears at US Coffee Kiosk

This awesome automated barista is at your service in San Francisco.

Henry Hu, 23, hates waiting in queues at coffee shops and invented Cafe X — a new kind of cafe, where two coffee machines are operated by a fast robotic arm. The first robot-powered café in the US opened on January 30 in San Francisco's Metreon shopping center. Boxed in a round Plexiglas shell, the bot barista is capable of preparing about 120 drinks per hour. Customers can choose their coffee type, beans and syrups they prefer.
