Artly Unveils Mini Barista Bot at NRA 2025
On May 17, 2025, in Chicago, the National Restaurant Association Show opened its doors to a technological marvel—the mini Barista Bot by Artly. This robotic barista, an upgrade over previous models, stands at a compact size of just 4ft x 4ft, making it an ideal fit for various settings including coffee shops, event venues, and restaurants. The innovation doesn’t stop there; Artly has designed a bigger refrigerator for enhanced storage and introduced customizable countertop designs, accommodating aesthetics of different establishments.

One of the main highlights of the Barista Bot is its remarkable learning capability powered by Artly’s Vision-Language-Action (VLA) artificial intelligence model. This technology has been trained on intricate motion capture data from expert baristas, allowing the bot to replicate the finesse of crafting beverages while producing intricate latte art that customers have come to love. Over the past five years, the Barista Bot has successfully served nearly one million cups of coffee, further underscoring its capability and popularity.

Artly's strategic enhancements aim to broaden the Barista Bot's versatility and installation opportunities. The newly upgraded model boasts multiple countertop color options including white, walnut, and the original wood finish, providing clients with the visual flexibility they desire. Yushan Chen, Chief Operating Officer of Artly, shared insights into the vision behind the latest upgrades: "With these new features, the Barista Bot can cater to more clients effectively while integrating seamlessly into different café environments."

The Barista Bot has already made quite the impact in the industry, raising over $10 million in funding and expanding its presence to 15 cafes across the United States. With continued advancements in its learning capabilities, the bot is set to offer a wider range of menu choices in the near future. It also represents a significant push towards integrating robotics into the restaurant sector, an ongoing theme discussed throughout the NRA 2025 show, where automation and robotics are taking center stage.
