These easy-to-install robots are plug-and-play and ideal for shopping malls, office complexes, and subway entrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To interact with the robo-barista, customers use an app to scan the QR code indicating the type of coffee they want. The robotic arm then selects the cup size, controls sugar volume, dispenses, and even prints the customer\u2019s name on the cup, similar to the service customers are used to at other popular coffee outlets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee-lovers can even place orders online in advance before heading to the nearest MegaRobo coffee machine to pick up their double-espresso, caramel cappuccino, or latt\u00e9 on the run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-challenges\" style=\"font-weight:600\">Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With a highly precise robotic barista arm to make coffee, MegaRobo wanted to bring its new barista idea to the market.

They also wanted to partner with a company that had a good understanding of modern retail experience demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MegaRobo was seeking a partner with similar product experience to their own who could speed up their development cycle.
