About ADAM
ADAM combines two six-degree-of-freedom arms with an integrated beverage workstation for preparing coffee, cocktails, boba tea and other configured drinks. Richtech Robotics adapts dispensers, appliances, cups, recipes and motion sequences to each installation. The published system specification lists a 4.99-kilogram payload per arm, 540-watt power draw and NSF certification for the service configuration.
Speech and animated interaction provide a customer-facing layer while the arms perform the programmed preparation sequence. Richtech lists support for over 100 drink recipes and serving times of about one minute for selected beverages. Hospitality, retail and event operators obtain the system through purchase or rental arrangements that can include installation, workflow configuration and maintenance support.
