ADAM robot bartender debuts at Golden Knights game
A dual-arm robot developed by Richtech Robotics is serving drinks at T‑Mobile Arena.
ADAM, an automated dual-arm mixologist, is pouring beverages at T‑Mobile Arena during Las Vegas Golden Knights games.
Las-Vegas based Richtech Robotics said in a statement the robot is intended to help address hospitality labor shortages and meet demand for distinctive customer experiences.
Richtech trained ADAM in simulation using NVIDIA Isaac Sim on Omniverse, generating synthetic data to teach object recognition and refining pouring and shaking with Isaac Lab, the company said. “The hospitality industry faces significant labor challenges, and ADAM is our answer to meeting those needs while elevating the customer experience. With NVIDIA’s Isaac platform, we’ve developed a solution that’s scalable, consistent, and frankly, creates memorable moments for fans. The response at T‑Mobile Arena has been phenomenal—people love interacting with ADAM,” Matt Casella, president of Richtech Robotics, said.
ADAM runs on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Orin, capable of 275 TOPS of compute, and uses Isaac ROS 2 libraries. Richtech said the robot’s perception stack is built with TAO Toolkit and optimized with TensorRT, enabling it to identify cups, measure liquid levels and adjust movements with less than 40 milliseconds of latency.
The firm also highlighted Dex, a mobile humanoid for light-to-medium industrial tasks that runs on NVIDIA Jetson Thor. Dex was trained from a blend of real-world and synthetic data generated in Isaac Sim and was recently unveiled at GTC DC, the company said.
