The automated Costa Coffee shop features a sleek, consumer-friendly design that incorporates touch screen ordering and payment.
UK-based Costa Coffee has launched a fully automated, AI-powered coffee shop, reportedly capable of meeting or surpassing barista quality, according to a report.
The robotic coffee shop is self-cleaning and can operate for up to seven days without any human intervention. Already appearing at US airports and college campuses, the automated Costa Coffee shop features a sleek, consumer-friendly design that incorporates touch screen ordering and payment as well as a transparent drink preparation process.
Customers can see their drink made from beginning to end, shuffled from one stage to the next by robotic arms, then placed under a glass dome to serve.
