Case Introduction

In today's day and age, the combination of AI and robotics has brought unprecedented changes to various industries. inSpace's xbot coffee robot is an outstanding example of this change. By deeply integrating the basic capabilities of NVIDIA RTX GPU and NVIDIA CUDA architecture, the xbot coffee robot realizes the customized latte art printing function under the natural semantics of generative AI. This not only subverts the traditional coffee industry's production methods, but also allows consumers to enjoy a personalized printed coffee experience generated by natural semantics. This innovative application is a global example of how robotics hardware can be combined with generative AI technology.

Facing computational challenges

When implementing a natural semantic-controlled latte art feature, the XBOT robotics team faced a number of challenges. First, processing natural language data requires powerful computing power and efficient algorithms to extract semantic information. Secondly, converting the extracted semantic information into high-quality latte art patterns requires a lot of image processing work, which is also a computationally intensive task. To generate and print patterns in real time, you also need to ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the entire process.

To address these challenges, the xbot robotics team used NVIDIA RTX GPUs and CUDA architecture to build a local large-language Wensheng graph model. With the powerful computing power of GPUs and CUDA's efficient parallel processing capabilities, the model is able to quickly process large amounts of natural language data and generate high-quality images. At the same time, through the cooperation with equipment such as sub-millimeter precision industrial robotic arms, the XBOT robot is able to achieve pixel-level restoration and print coffee patterns.

Specifically, when a user issues an open voice command through inSight, the instruction information is transmitted to the local large language Wensheng graph model for processing. The model generates the corresponding latte art pattern according to the instruction content, and converts and optimizes the image by calling the locally deployed SD API. Finally, the optimized pattern is transferred to the industrial robotic arm and the coffee machine, which operates according to the precise position of the pattern, while the coffee machine is responsible for making the coffee with the latte pattern. Connect to a coffee printer to print rich, customized patterns.

With the introduction of NVIDIA's technical support, the xbot robot has successfully implemented customized latte art printing capabilities with generative AI's natural semantics. This feature not only improves the intelligence level of the robot, but also brings a new coffee experience to consumers. Users can enjoy a personalized latte art service with a simple voice command or take a photo.

In addition, the feature has had a profound impact on the coffee industry. Traditional cafes rely on professional baristas to make latte art, but the emergence of the XBOT robot breaks this limitation. Even in scenarios where there are no professional baristas, such as sales offices, hotels, supermarkets, showrooms, 4S stores, office buildings, schools, etc., xbot can provide master-level latte art coffee capabilities. This undoubtedly brings new opportunities for the innovation and development of the coffee industry.

"With NVIDIA's advanced technology support, we have closely integrated the large language model with the xbot coffee robot, aiming to create a new experience of embodied intelligence that combines robots with real-life scenarios in the consumer field. In the future, it will be easy to control a variety of devices through natural language, whether it is manipulating a robotic arm to complete delicate tasks, or a home assistant robot cooking indoors, childcare and health care, it will become within reach. "This year, we have also joined the NVIDIA Inception Program, which will have more exchanges and linkages in technology and market, explore more application scenarios of cutting-edge technologies, and provide consumers with a more intelligent and convenient service experience." ”
