Yanu - Service Robot into Everyday Situation

Yanu is an autonomous robot bartending unit that sells and serves beverages.

WHY YANU?
Considering the huge rise in automation, the increasing market share of the service industry and the issues on today’s labour market, our company has decided to step in and help out businesses with breakthrough solutions in service robotics.
Behind the fancy design there is a tireless workforce of artificially intelligent robots designed to work with and for humans. The new YANU bartending unit will help you as a bar-owner serve more clients considerably faster, with no errors and much lower expenses.
As a customer the benefits are obvious: besides being cool to watch, YANU never forgets anyone, gets your drink in half a minute, communicates with you via an app, treats you as a VIP if you pay in tokens from our ICO and even acts as a personal assistant of sorts.
