Prototyping

Drink-S

A mobile beverage robot - that was our vision, which we implemented a few years ago. It should function completely self-sufficiently. A stainless steel water tank, seven glasses, a battery pack and numerous electromechanical modules were integrated for completely self-sufficient use, so that a glass of water could be served at the push of a button. Drink-S was subsequently booked as an attraction at various events.

The challenge in this project was the design of the drive, the development of the mechanics for conveying and filling the glasses. In addition, the integration of the 3D camera for autonomous driving was also a challenge. In this project we combined our experience in mechanics, electronics and software.
