Cafe X's footage of its second-generation robotic coffee kiosk, where a robotic arm hands off cups around automated espresso machines. The arm motion is largely scripted pick-and-place from fixed positions, not vision-guided food manipulation. Cafe X retracted from consumer street-level kiosks around 2020 and pivoted to airports and B2B.
