The robot was seen to be making coffee in a fully automated manner, but things went awry when it accidentally spilled hot coffee on the table. However, the robot continued to function, completing the coffee-making process despite the mishap
The video was taken by Facebook user Josie Seetoh at the One Punggol Hawker Center and posted online yesterday by Facebook user Ks Toh. Ms Seetoh bought coffee from the drinks stall when she noticed that a coffee-making robot was being used to prepare the drink. Netizens responding to the video are divided on whether robots have a place doing such jobs in kopitiams. While some have praised robots for reducing dependence on manpower, others have expressed concerns about the quality of coffee made by robots compared to that made by skilled human baristas.
“The critical difference between a human being and a robot is that when a human makes a mistake, he can correct it immediately while a robot may not, and may continue the mistake and make it worse.”
