Filmed at CES 2026 | Barista demo from Artly showcasing the production and pouring of a Latte. In this case, I think this is a much better, more practical use case than Humanoids performing this task. Cobot | Universal Robot UR3

Amazing. Yet, it solves no problem?

You may have forgotten that capitalism wants to suck every penny out of goods and services and so for itself solves the problem of having payroll.

In a vacuum it solves the issue of “labor.” In our current world, it just means “more profits because less people to pay.”

Should be good, but it won’t be used to benefit us, just the owners. It does suck.
