2025 World Robot Conference Welcomes the ‘All-Round Champion’: 6th-Generation COFE+ Coffee Robot Makes a Grand Debut
Release date:
From August 8 to 12, 2025, Shanghai Hi-Dolphin Robot Technology Co., Ltd. showcased the 6th-Generation COFE+ Fully Intelligent Coffee Robot at the World Robot Conference held at the Beiren Yichuang International Convention and Exhibition Center in Beijing. COFE+ quickly became one of the most talked-about stars of the exhibition, drawing significant attention from industry experts, media and the public.
The debut of the 6th-Generation COFE+ Coffee Robot was a defining moment of the conference. Unlike previous models, the new generation integrates latte art, 3D printing, and fully personalized taste customization into one compact solution. This milestone makes COFE+ the first coffee robot worldwide to achieve such all-in-one capabilities, pushing the boundaries of what robot AI coffee can deliver and setting a new global benchmark for intelligent beverage service.
Another major highlight was the unveiling of the “COFE+ Family Lineup”, including the Mobile Coffee Robot Kiosk, the Smart Coffee Robot Counter, the Smart Coffee Robot Bar and the Corner Coffee Robot. Together, they represent a complete “full-scenario, full-time, fully automatic” coffee service ecosystem, adaptable to shopping malls, luxury hotels, transport hubs, office buildings and cultural tourism venues. This versatility underscores COFE+’s leadership in the next generation of robot coffee business, offering scalable solutions to meet the diverse needs of global operators.
Technical breakthroughs also stood out as key differentiators of the sixth generation. COFE+ now features microgram-level precision, advanced grinding and extraction technology that preserves 99.99% of the coffee bean’s original aroma, and a remote AI-powered shop management platform. These advancements mean that one operator can efficiently oversee up to ten units from a single device, reduce costs by as much as 90%, and still deliver a premium customer experience.
The COFE+ booth remained one of the busiest throughout the five-day conference. Visitors lined up to experience the limited-edition “Robot Latte Art,” which printed their portraits, conference logo, or slogan on coffee foam, turning each cup into a collectible souvenir.
Many attendees expressed surprise at the flavor and the quality. A coffee championship judge commented, “This is the only robot capable of unlocking the true flavor of specialty beans. Its taste is indistinguishable from that of a world-class barista.”
Others were impressed by the robot’s adaptability and efficiency. A visitor from Europe remarked: “With COFE+, you are not just drinking coffee, you are experiencing the future of coffee retail.” These testimonials reinforced the role of COFE+ as a leading example of how robot coffee business models can redefine traditional industries.
The strong response at the 2025 World Robot Conference underscores COFE+’s global potential. Building on its deployments in more than 50 countries and 100 cities, COFE+ will expand into new markets and scenarios in the coming year, continuing to lead in intelligent beverage solutions. Future product launches will further advance its mission of delivering affordable specialty coffee to everyone, everywhere.
The 6th-Generation Robot Barista COFE+ has made a successful appearance at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference and will also be showcased at the upcoming 2025 Host Milano exhibition and the Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition). We warmly invite global partners, industry experts and coffee enthusiasts to experience our innovations firsthand.
