In addition to the captivating, synchronized Optimus Prime toys by Robosen, the endearing robot dogs from Boston Dynamics, which jumped and interacted affectionately with attendees, and the crowd engaging Mirokai by Enchanted Tools, the House of Robots at IFA Berlin 2023 displayed a remarkable array of automated devices, all geared towards enhancing convenience above all else.
From contactless bartending robots to drones that bring photography and videography to new levels, here are some highlights from the event.
Ever Had a Robot Bartender?
Among the standout attractions, the Yanu bartending robot served drinks to hundreds of guests with unmatched precision and flair. Towering at nearly 10 feet, this robotic bartending station can craft up to 100 drinks per hour, boasting an astounding storage capacity of 1000-1500 beverages and cocktails in a single load.
What truly distinguishes the Yanu bartending robot is its user-friendly, interactive mobile and touch screen interface, ensuring a seamless ordering experience and streamlined payment process. Its Cloud-based administration and monitoring system provide real-time insights, enhancing efficiency and reliability.
Drone Sighting
Beyond the Yanu marvel, DJI returned to IFA with an immersive display of their latest drones and camera technology, showcasing products such as the DJI Air 3, Osmo Action 4, Mini 3 Pro drone, Mavic 3 Pro (Cine), Ronin 4D cinema camera, RS 3 series, DJI Pocket 2, and Osmo Mobile 6. The star of the show, the Mavic 3 Pro (Cine), marked a new era in aerial photography.
But the DJI booth’s most impressive feature was the dedicated first-person-view (FPV) flying area. There, visitors stepped into the world of FPV with DJI Avata and DJI Goggles 2, navigating through an obstacle course to experience Avata’s astonishing performance, agility, and intuitive control for an immersive flight experience like no other.
