AI-powered robotic bartender mixes custom cocktails at CES 2026

AI Barmen has introduced an AI-powered robotic bartender at CES 2026 that autonomously mixes custom cocktails while learning and remembering individual customer preferences. Designed to address labor shortages, inconsistent drink quality, and long service times in the hospitality industry, the system combines robotics with an AI recommendation engine to personalize drinks based on user history. Customers can choose to remain anonymous or have their preferences saved and accessed across different venues and countries, ensuring consistent drink quality wherever the AI Barmen unit is installed. The robotic arm precisely mixes thousands of cocktail combinations, including user-created recipes, and autonomously manages inventory to reduce waste. The system is designed for practicality and scalability, requiring only a standard electrical outlet and no continuous water supply, making it suitable for diverse settings such as bars, hotels, airports, restaurants, and event venues. Unlike other robotic solutions focused on spectacle, AI Barmen emphasizes functional integration into hospitality operations, freeing human staff to focus on customer interaction rather than repetitive tasks. The interface includes gamification elements to
