The World’s First Interactive Robot Bartender: At FIU

Her name is Cecilia and she is the world’s first interactive A.I. mixologist – or robot bartender, if you will – and she is currently working her magic at Florida International University’s Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management in North Miami.

Her job at FIU is to teach hospitality students at FIU’s Bacardi Center of Excellence about technology and innovation in their chosen field, and ultimately, to help businesses sell more drinks.

She will come of assistance to site-specific locations, such as sports stadiums, cruise ships or even airport bars. Any places that have long, slow lines when it comes to ordering a drink. At 120 drinks per hour, Cecilia uses AI and voice recognition abilities to deliver delicious, crafted cocktails and even tell jokes.

Cecilia will make her first public debut under the big tents February 26th and 27th and the South Beach Wine & Food Festival on Miami Beach hosted by FIU’s very own Chaplin School of Hospitality & Tourism Management.
