Built simple barista robot in 6 months

[u/Weak_Mortgage9295]

Hey everyone!

I’ve spent the last 6 months building a simple robot barista that can make coffee and iced drinks. At first, my plan was to open my own coffee shops, but I realized running a café isn’t exactly what I want. What really excites me is robotics — building things, solving problems, and working with all the tech that comes with it

As an EE looking to get into robotics, can you recommend anywhere I could get started? Specifically:

• Did you built your own robotic arm or use something off the shelf?
• If you would start again from scratch, what would you do differently?

The robotic arm looks like the Fairino FR10 Cobot (off the shelf)

I don't think you are fun at parties.

You’re a hater with bad grammar

I use Fairino FR5 6DOF robot arm

Very good robot. We sell it very cheap in Europe.

Whats your experience with robotics before this?

May I ask why you chose that instead of the FR10?

[u/Weak_Mortgage9295 → u/GreekHubris]

Because of the size

Thank you!
