The robotic system prepared espresso drinks and ice cream desserts within a glass-enclosed automated station as two robotic arms simultaneously frothed milk and poured latte art, crafting gourmet drinks with programmed precision. The system demonstrated the ability to produce a hot latte and an iced Americano simultaneously in approximately 110 seconds. One notable feature allows customers to upload their own photos to create personalized latte art printed directly onto the beverage foam. Michelle Lin, CEO of XBOT USA, described the innovation as more than just automation. "This is a cup of coffee with rich emotional value," she said.
