Technology Adapts to Scenarios, Scenarios Create Value
AI robots have long transcended the stage of mere "technological showcase" and entered a new cycle of large-scale commercial implementation and in-depth exploration of scenario value.
The Scenario Revolution of Service Robotics
Addressing pain points in the traditional catering and retail industry—such as high labor costs, difficulty in standardization, and limited scenario adaptability—Anno Robotics has launched AI-driven intelligent unmanned retail solutions. These solutions significantly reduce labor costs, improve production efficiency, and enhance enterprise competitiveness. Pioneering the "technology platform + scenario modules" model, Anno has built a full-category beverage-mixing robot matrix covering coffee, milk tea, ice cream, cocktails, and more.
With international leading product performance, Anno achieves reliable overall machine operation, 100% accurate replication of manual work, and mass production—all validated through commercialization and large-scale application in real scenarios. This solves the long-standing challenge of unmanned freshly made beverage services, enabling Anno to double its output value in just two years and export products to more than 70 countries worldwide! While others chase general-purpose robots, Anno firmly focuses on deepening its expertise in the beverage sector with the belief of "Digging deeper and striving for greater excellence."
AI + Robot Freshly Made Beverage Application Solutions
Based on AI, IoT, and internet technologies, Anno‘s Drinks+ robotic freshly made beverage solutions address the "unmanned replacement" challenge in catering intelligence through "on-demand customization + multi-scenario application." Supporting personalized tastes for thousands of people, the solutions have been refined over nearly 7 years of accumulation, development, and iteration. Adopting modular design , self-developed core modules, sensitive sensors, key process technologies, and a cloud-based management platform, Anno has formed a product matrix including AI robotic latte art coffee, robotic milk tea, robotic cocktail mixing, and robotic ice cream solutions.
Equipped with high-precision robotic arms, intelligent visual capture and recognition technology, machine learning systems, and 3D modeling, the robots perfectly replicate the skills of professional baristas with single-arm latte art, creating a product series of AI robotic freshly made beverages (coffee, milk tea, cocktails, ice cream, etc.).
- Labor Replacement: One beverage robot can replace 3 full-time employees, reducing labor costs by 60%.
- Precision Enhancement: Latte art eliminates manual errors and improves symmetry; users can upload custom patterns for coffee art.

- Cloud Intelligent Hub: Real-time monitoring of global equipment status through IoT platforms, with a 95% remote diagnosis rate for faults, reducing operation and maintenance costs by 50%.
"Even though robots can match human skills, they still lack emotional value to some extent." Manual stalls are vibrant with human warmth —customers can chat face-to-face with catering staff like friends, leaving emotional memories beyond the food itself.
In contrast, current catering robot stores generally operate in closed environments, making it difficult for consumers to interact with robots. Only a pure "production-consumption" relationship remains between the two parties.
From "Usable" to "User-Friendly": The Value Leap of Catering Robot Stores
How can catering robot stores better serve consumers and achieve a value leap from "usable" to "user-friendly"?
Personalized Customization and Emotional Service to Meet Consumer Needs
For example, Anno‘s coffee robots simulate manual latte art (6-8 classic patterns such as tulips, leaves, and swans). Through camera-based visual capture and recognition of baristas‘ movements, the robots convert latte art trajectories into precise coordinate points for deep machine learning and training.
Adding pattern printing functionality further enhances interaction and meets personalized needs! Users can upload any image via their mobile phones when placing an order, and the built-in 3D modeling system generates the design in 3 seconds: printing a hand-drawn portrait of a best friend on a birthday coffee, embedding a company‘s IP image on a business custom drink, or even "writing" marriage proposal messages on coffee—this cup of coffee is like a melting romantic letter.
Supporting "personalized tastes for thousands of people," Anno offers customized solutions tailored to different clients—whether large chain coffee shops, small independent bars, or university canteen stalls. The solutions are adapted based on venue space, customer flow, and product range. During overseas expansion, Anno adjusts product flavors according to local preferences and fully considers differences in voltage, language, and payment methods for localization.
"Our robots have been deployed in various public spaces such as shopping malls, education institutions, cultural venues, hospitals, and transportation hubs, gaining widespread recognition. In the future, robot stores will become increasingly common in daily life scenarios," said Huang Huang, Founder of Anno Robotics. Benefiting from the support of Shenzhen Customs, the company‘s catering robot products have rapidly entered overseas markets. "Our export volume has doubled this year."
