Title: Robot makes coffee at new cafe in Japan's capital
Post by: goodwithagun on February 04, 2018, 01:54:13 pm

Japan has a new robot cafe where customers can enjoy coffee brewed and served by a robot barista.

The robot named Sawyer debuted this week at Henna Cafe in Tokyo's downtown business and shopping district of Shibuya. The shop's name in Japanese means "strange cafe."

The single-armed robot scans a ticket purchased from a vending machine and greets the customer.
