ADAM: THE ROBOT MASTERING VEGAS BARS WITH NVIDIA PRECISION
Meet ADAM – the robot bartender shaking up Vegas’ s T-Mobile Arena, one poured drink at a time. Developed by Richtech Robotics using NVIDIA’ s Isaac platform, this dual-arm mixologist trained in virtual bars before its debut, learning to navigate tricky conditions like glare and reflections.
Running on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, the robot achieves sub-40 millisecond response times, spotting misplaced cups and adjusting pours mid-flow. It’ s an answer to hospitality’ s labour challenges, proving automation can also handle customer-facing roles with precision and flair.
