This application is a solution that implements a robot Barista Robot using the UR5e.
Unlike the vending machine-style coffee automation commonly found on the market, this system replaces all human tasks with robots, making it suitable for operating a cafe with a minimal workforce. By having robots extract the beans, it maintains a consistent quantity and ensures that the coffee always tastes the same.
