Summary:

 

Kime is a commercially available humanoid robot specializing in food and beverage service. Developed in Spain by Macco Robotics, Kime is typically installed as a fixed torso with two highly agile arms, designed to handle repetitive tasks like serving drinks, making coffee, and preparing food. Kime's primary advantage is its ability to operate 24/7 in high-volume environments, acting as a robotic bartender or fast-food attendant.

 

Editorial:

 

Say hello to the ultimate party machine—Kime is the robotic bartender who never gets tired, never asks for a raise, and never judges your drink order. Kime represents a highly specialized, proven commercial use case for robotics. By focusing exclusively on the food service industry, Macco Robotics has created a hyper-efficient machine that can shake, stir, pour, and serve with robotic precision. This robot is proof that specialization is a profitable path in robotics. While Kime is usually torso-mounted (saving money and complexity on legs), its arms are a showcase of dexterity and speed. In an industry facing staffing shortages and high turnover, Kime is rapidly changing how high-volume service is delivered, making the concept of a fully automated bar or coffee shop a reality, today. When Kime is running your drinks, you’re not looking at sci-fi; you’re looking at pure market efficiency.
