Are robot baristas and AI chefs a glimpse into the future? | BBC News
What would you like a robot to do for you today we know that the robotic technology is fast evolving taking on a variety of tasks that previously only people could do maybe even your job with a big CES technology Show in Las Vegas at the beginning of the year showcase
Some of the new robots in development Spencer Kelly from the BBC’s click show went along to have a look don’t know about you but I still love a robot here’s one that’s making me a latte tell you this better be a blooming good coffee whether or not it will beat the
Human Brea or indeed the coffee maker depends on your point of view I suppose but this type of Bot certainly generates a bit of interest at these Shows BBC Foy hazut last I didn’t even know my nickname thanks for coming have a nice day I will thank you very much much more useful and I think more practical are robots that can roam our world doing the more mundane stuff like sweeping the roads here’s a concept robot mooting the
Idea that if you going to go off grid you might want a solar panel on wheels that follows the sun like a sun flower gradually charging its batteries so that you can then run your Camp your car or anything else you got knocking about that’s electric I’m just waiting for my next
Guest in this robot theme section don’t know where it is oh my oh my gosh this is H1 a remote controlled prototype from Chinese company Unry I’ve seen this outfit at a couple of techs now and although Boston Dynamics has one YouTube with its amazing dog and humanoid Bop vids this is a reminder that this kind of tech is not unique anymore H1 is nowhere near as advanced as some but it does have the
Basic balancing skills which means it can certainly handle some action from a kid from the main streets of Vegas all right I’ve always wanted to do [Laughter] this I think it’s time to Exit Stage right right okay right okay not happy about that
From super-hyped AI assistants to apps that translate babies’ cries, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, gave a glimpse at what could be tomorrow’s trendiest tech.
BBC’s Click team visited the show, checking out the latest tech from some of the world’s biggest companies.

Prefer a human to make me a coffee still 🤷♂️
They're here!!! 😂🦾🦿
These cheesy "reports" might – MIGHT – be fun and entertaining if only we could SEE what the camera recorded. Instead, the BBC embraces and enforces the lower third as some immutable force of nature, never to be removed… even when it obscures the subject of the video. So stupid.
Of course. You do still have horse and carriage rides if you prefer living in the past 😊
Cool 🎉❤
Que injenio esta bueno 🎉❤🙏
Bollocks !
Can't wait for a Wall-E society, where people don't have to work laborious jobs anymore
Not unless they steal as much money as the real thing.
the horse and the sword is the glimpse of the future
the Event will happen that creates the time of twilight the end of days
the stars will be obliterated
the sun and the moon become one sign
mr indian you do not understand policy people do not want this system
this man mr indian or mr illegal cannot understand policy he works as some foreign power
mr indian mr illegal does his tricks and thinks that amounts to good economy but he works for india
As an introvert, even i prefer to communicate with an actual human rather than a darn robot 🤦♂️
Make Ninja robots…..Army robots ….Aviation robots ….
Developing AI and robots and unable to resolve Gaza issue, Ukraine issue, Taiwan issue…… Well, i think we need more intelligent people to resolve world problems rathar than technology that makes human unemployed.
Unitree bots are copycats of Boston Dynamics. I think Tesla and a few others will make better Humanoid robots I think. Plus they were remote Controlling it on the left as you saw. Pretty lame. If it can't walk on its own, look around
Amazing 🤩
…I rather pay to men to provide for his soul…than to enrich a man…
No.
Did you have ask it for ice cream ?
Then have robots drinking and eating the products
Please people , don’t participate in anything that makes ordinary people poor and jobless and puts even more money into the hands of the very wealthy!
Not a future I want to live in.
What if a fly fell into just filled up cup?
Efforts of many bright brains for making such kinds of artificial intelligence tools for easier human life.
Hats off to BBC team.
Never, those mad AI people used to say that robots would only replace humans in dangerous jobs but now they want to replace workers in every single situation and professions. Greedy bloody people, Why would I buy a coffee or food that is in fact industrialised? Boycott this madness it's gonna destroy our society.
No, n, no,no, no
No I don't want a robot I'm quite capable making my own coffee as a human thank you very much
Wheres the chef
How is an AI chef going to cook me a physical (non-virtual) meal??
It’s sad that as time goes on we try and get rid of as much human interaction as possible
RIDICULOS
A robot that can make coffe? not bad, nice but when is it going to be possible for a robot to make any kind of food and prep it all from scratch? I'm looking forward for that day such thing would exist and then I would gladly pay money for it.
This is aimed at the intelligence of small children.
