At the filming location of CCTV‘s “City Chronicles” Shenzhen episode, host Sa Beining engaged in a “transcending time and space dialogue” with the Anuo AI latte art coffee robot at the world‘s first robotic 6S store. The robot recreated his 23-year-old youth photo, achieving a “coffee cup photo op” that spanned decades—just how impressive is this latte art technology that repeatedly captured CCTV‘s attention?

Robotic Barista Makes CCTV Debut

On the evening of October 2nd, CCTV-1‘s “City Chronicles” Shenzhen episode aired, featuring hosts Sa Beining, Meng Zhandong, and Wang Jianing, actress Wang Ou, and Tongji University Distinguished Professor Zhu Dajian as the “City Chronicles Team” experiencing Shenzhen‘s technological innovations firsthand.

Host Sa Beining transformed into a “Future Experience Officer,” engaging in a “transcendental dialogue” with the Anuo AI latte art robot at the world‘s first robotic 6S store in Longgang, Shenzhen.

During the segment, Sa Beining uploaded a photo of himself at age 23. Within 90 seconds, the Anuo AI latte art robot precisely replicated his youthful smile on the milk foam—eyebrow curves and eye contours were clearly visible, and even the subtle smile at the corners of his mouth was perfectly recreated.

From scanning and uploading the photo to the robotic arm initiating production, the entire process required no human intervention. Watching the robotic arm glide with the grace of a master barista, he couldn‘t help but quip: “Now even robots are better at ‘pulling off stunts’ than I am.”

This seamless integration of visual recognition, robotic arm control, and milk foam shaping left the live audience in awe and sparked heated discussions across the internet!
