Richtech Robotics Expands ADAM Robot Capabilities with AI Powered Artisanal Espresso System

Rhea-AI Summary

Richtech Robotics (Nasdaq: RR) is enhancing its AI-powered barista robot ADAM with a new artisanal espresso system, set to debut at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago (May 17-20, 2025). The upgraded system incorporates standard café equipment including a precision grinder, distribution and tamping equipment, and a hand-pressed espresso machine.

ADAM's new capabilities leverage NVIDIA-powered AI vision to monitor and adjust water pressure during extraction in real-time, ensuring optimal espresso shots. The robot can also detect approaching customers and explain the coffee-making process. This advancement aims to combine automation efficiency with artisanal coffee quality, building upon ADAM's existing ability to craft lattes and boba teas.

New system utilizes advancements in physical AI to provide customers efficient and precise artisanal coffee products

Las Vegas, NV, May 16, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Richtech Robotics Inc. (Nasdaq: RR) (“Richtech Robotics” or the “Company”), a Nevada-based provider of AI-driven service robots, is expanding the capabilities of its AI-powered barista robot, ADAM, with a new artisanal espresso system debuting at the National Restaurant Association Show at McCormick Place Convention Center in Chicago from May 17 to May 20, 2025.

“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.”

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 layer of intelligence 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. This interaction between perception and control moves beyond basic automation, demonstrating how AI can bring precision, adaptability, and consistency to traditionally manual tasks.

With this upgrade, the company believes automation doesn’t have to mean compromise. ADAM’s advanced physical AI capabilities offer a way for 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 him to begin explaining each step of the process in real time.

Attendees at the National Restaurant Association Show will be able to meet ADAM and see the new artisanal coffee system in action at booth #4084 in the south building on the exhibition floor.
