Richtech Robotics expanded capabilities for its ADAM robot, and debuted the product during National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago.
Nevada-based provider of AI-driven service robots, Richtech Robotics announced expanded capabilities for its AI-powered barista robot, ADAM.
At the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago, the company added an artisanal espresso system to ADAM’s capabilities.
The new artisanal coffee system features equipment commonly found in cafés worldwide, including a precision grinder, distribution and tamping equipment and a hand-pressed espresso machine.
This upgrade introduces a new intelligence layer by applying ADAM’s physical AI capabilities to monitor and control the espresso-making process in real-time. Using NVIDIA-powered AI vision, ADAM observes the water pressure during extraction and makes precise adjustments to optimize each shot. Richtech Robotics said this interaction between perception and control moves beyond basic automation, demonstrating how AI can bring precision, adaptability and consistency to traditionally manual tasks.
“Richtech Robotics remains committed to delivering practical, revenue-generating AI solutions that solve high-need challenges in hospitality today,” said Matt Casella, president of Richtech Robotics. “As automation continues to reshape the service industry, our ADAM robot has already demonstrated its ability to craft high-quality lattes, boba teas, and more - earning praise from both business owners and consumers. With expanded coffee-based offerings, ADAM now bridges the gap between automation and artisanal craft, offering operators new ways to curate their unique customer experience.”
With this upgrade, the company believes automation doesn’t have to mean compromise. ADAM’s advanced physical AI capabilities allow businesses to serve high-quality, handcrafted beverages while maintaining workflow efficiency and stable staffing.
In addition to crafting artisanal coffee, ADAM uses AI-enabled vision to detect when a customer approaches, prompting the robot to explain each step of the coffee-making process in real time.
