Meet ADAM, the Two-Armed, AI-Driven Robot Mixologist Creating a Stir

Meet ADAM, Richtech Robotics’ AI-powered barkeeper, barista, and bubble tea maker robot designed to boost beverage service efficiency. ADAM not only makes drinks but can also interact with customers verbally and physically thanks to AI technology.

While ADAM has seen use across the United States, he is now officially tasked with serving customers at Richtech Robotics’ Clouffee & Tea store, which had its grand opening in Town Square, Las Vegas, on February 9, 2025.

Richtech Robotics’ ADAM

Richtech Robotics is a Nevada-based company founded in 2016. It specializes in producing AI-run service robots for the healthcare and hospitality industries. Richtech Robotics’ robots are designed to execute a variety of tasks, including hotel room service, vacuuming, floor cleaning, food and beverage making and delivery, restaurant running, and clearing tables.

ADAM, Richtech Robotics’ two-armed beverage-making robot, comes with three configurable programs: masterful mixologist, coffee connoisseur, and boba tea maestro. ADAM uses a comprehensive library of drink concoctions to craft cocktails of all kinds, create coffees from flat whites to Americanos, and blend bubble teas to boot. 

ADAM not only makes drinks but also uses NVIDIA's advanced AI technology to detect customers nearby, strike up conversations, take orders verbally, and even respond with personalized communication and engaging body language to enhance customer service.

Coffee, Cocktails, and Tea

ADAM has accrued notable experience in the food and beverage industry, including serving customers visiting the Ghost Kitchen at Atlanta’s Walmart Supercenter. Demonstrating his ability in high-traffic environments, ADAM also serves cocktails, mocktails, and specialty drinks at the Texas Rangers MLB Stadium. Richtech Robotics also works with partners to make ADAM services mobile, including collaborating with Botbar to serve coffee.

ADAM guarantees uniform drink quality and has been created to adapt to various settings, from small cafés to huge event locations, supporting shifting demand while maintaining service efficiency. The robot’s technology works with existing systems to streamline operations and provide valuable data insights for better operation and decision-making.

Boosting Beverage Service

Richtech Robotics configures ADAM to handle a business’s specific menu, executes the setup of the custom workstation, and provides remote support or in-person after installation is complete. ADAM can craft drinks in as little as 30-60 seconds (on average), and work around the clock, unlike human workers who need to go home, rest, and start the next morning. These capabilities provide consistent customer service offerings and 24/7 revenue influx. An electrical outlet, water supply and drain, network, and physical space are all that is needed to get started.
