Abstract

We present a demonstration of a Robo-Barista: a social robot that takes hot beverage orders through verbal interaction and completes them via a Bluetooth enabled coffee machine. The demonstration is highly robust and it is the intention that this could be installed as a permanent feature, enabling 'In the Wild' experimentation and long term studies. In the demonstration video, we show a user interacting with a Furhat robot to order a coffee. The robot has a novel architecture that allows it to exhibit both verbal and non-verbal cues, such as shared attention and chitchat. Furthermore, it is enabled with a unique tiredness detector based on visual facial features.
