Milk Tea Robot

Jointly developed by the Association of Coffee and Tea of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Productivity Council, Hong Kong’s artificial intelligence HK-style milk tea making robot “KamChAI” is the first robot to be launched. In Hong Kong, we love to drink a Hong Kong-style milk tea, but it takes a lot of hard work and skills to make. It’s a dying art, and not many young people are learning how to do it. In local Cha Chaan Teng, already facing a labour shortage, struggle to hire tea masters. This robot replicates all of the complicated traditional techniques to produce Hong Kong-style milk tea, from brewing and stewing to pouring, for a tea made with new robotics technology.
