In brief: If you're heading to a Texas Rangers game at Globe Life Field anytime soon, be sure to swing by Section 111 for a bartender experience that's straight out of the future. You'll find ADAM, an advanced robotic bartender, effortlessly crafting cocktails and mocktails behind the counter alongside its human colleagues.
ADAM is the first robot of its kind to be permanently stationed at a major league sports venue. Developed by Richtech Robotics, it's designed to be the ultimate bartending sidekick. The robot uses its highly dexterous arms to whip up even the trickiest drink orders with flawless precision every time. Its menu contains mostly classic cocktails like Lemon Drops and Whiskey Sours.
Don't worry about ADAM being some clunky, awkward machine either. It's got a sleek design that looks like something straight out of WALL-E, complete with blue LEDs to add a dash of style. And as a final touch, the robot is wearing the Texas Rangers' jersey and cap.
The robot bartender has already proven to be a hit in its first week on the job at Globe Life, serving up nearly 500 beverages to thirsty fans. With its tireless work ethic, ADAM promises to be a key player in alleviating long lines and wait times during those busy games where the crowds are massive.
The Rangers aren't ADAM's first rodeo in the service industry, though. This is actually its tenth permanent installation after successful stints at bars, restaurants, and other venues across the country.
For Richtech Robotics, ADAM is part of its grander vision to transform the entire hospitality industry through innovative robotics solutions. Casey Rapp, general manager at Globe Life Field for Delaware North, highlighted the robot's potential to evolve into a crowd-pleasing spectacle and a valuable addition to the stadium's hospitality staff.
Previously, Richtech Robotics announced the installation of the same robot at One Kitchen in a Walmart in Rockford. But unlike its more alcoholic sibling, this one's focused on coffee and boba tea-based drinks.
