A Robot That Serves You Sweet Ice Treats

We already have seen robots serving coffee in some downtowns, but it seems like they are ready to diversify their menus. Korean tech start-up XYZ introduced a robot that can produce ice cream, of course, added with sprinkles of customers’ choice.

Aris, a robot that can serve ice cream in a cup in less than a minute, is one of the main products of the company, along with its barista robot “Baris” and self-driving delivery robot “STORAGY”.

To learn more about Aris and what it can do, 4i Magazine visited the XYZ office based in Seoul.
