No, it’s not Starbucks. It’s Artly, a 3-year-old startup that has developed an AI-powered machine that it claims makes a “perfect cup of coffee every time,” using computer vision algorithms to guide a robotic arm and monitor drink quality. Amazing?
Artly's barista bots learn quickly: Human baristas can use the imitation learning platform to teach Artly new tricks by showing examples. Deep Learning-based visual inspection is used to monitor drink quality at each step to ensure a perfect cup with every order.
It has 10 retail locations across the US and will use the new funding to expand its model.
