Richtech Robotics launched a 24/7 live stream featuring its flagship ADAM bartender robot on June 18, 2026. Through YouTube, users worldwide can engage with the dual-armed robotic system in real-time, asking questions, observing its reactions, and influencing its behavior through interactive dialogue.
ADAM is powered by NVIDIA Jetson Thor for real-time computing and was developed using the NVIDIA Isaac platform, an open ecosystem for robotics development. This technology stack facilitates dynamic human interaction within physical environments, enabling the robot to adapt to unpredictable scenarios. Unlike pre-recorded content, the stream showcases the machine's true capabilities as the robot responds to viewer inquiries live, fostering natural interactions.
A key feature of this project is that it serves as more than just a demonstration; it is a showcase for potential buyers. ADAM is already operational in real-world settings, serving drinks and coffee at the tm:rw retail store in Times Square, appearing at the HITEC 2026 hospitality conference, and mixing cocktails at the NVIDIA GTC Conference. The interactive broadcast allows hospitality, restaurant, and retail businesses to assess the robot's reliability before committing to large-scale deployment investments.
Richtech Robotics CEO Wayne Huang emphasized that the project introduces a new format for human-machine interaction, where people directly shape the experience and witness how embodied AI handles live, ambiguous situations. COO Phil Zheng added that the initiative lowers the barrier to entry for robotics while demonstrating its practical value in everyday tasks ranging from service to manufacturing.
ADAM is a dual-armed service robot designed for food and beverage applications. The company did not disclose technical specifications such as height, weight, battery life, or sensor arrays in its press release. Pricing and consumer availability have not yet been made public. The live broadcast can be viewed on the company’s YouTube channel at youtube.com/@richtechrobotics.
Richtech Robotics (Nasdaq: RR) specializes in AI-driven robots for the service and industrial sectors. ADAM is not merely a concept but a fully functional robot already deployed in commercial locations. This project reflects the company's development philosophy: choosing open market and consumer engagement over isolated laboratories to show that physical artificial intelligence is ready for the unpredictable conditions of the real world.
