SK Telecom is launching an unmanned coffee robot service dubbed AI Barista Robot in collaboration with Doosan Robotics Co.
The robot can make about 20 different types of coffee and drinks and offers coffee that satisfies the personal taste of consumers.
The robot also finishes the coffee-making process by putting a lid on the cup.
The AI barista robot service can also provide real-time information on sales by product and branch, the consumption of raw ingredients and the state of the equipment to shop owners through a data analysis platform.
It can drastically reduce the inconvenience arising from the operation of unmanned shops, while contributing to improving the overall efficiency of shop operations through a 24/7 service.
To grow the unmanned coffee robot business, the telecom operator noted that it is developing a franchise-type robot product in partnership with one of the country's largest café owners.
