Focusing on real-world commercial scenarios, Anno Robotics has been selected as one of Shenzhen’s 2026 "Robot +" Application Demonstration Typical Cases.
Recently, the Bureau of Industry and Information Technology of Shenzhen has published the list of 2026 Shenzhen "Robot +" Typical Application Demonstration Cases. Anno Robotics has been successfully selected for its intelligent unmanned retail application solution of AI-powered robotic freshly-made beverages for commercial scenarios, which takes six-axis robotic arms and machine learning systems as the core.


The solicitation of "Robot +" typical cases adopted rigorous evaluations across four core dimensions: technological originality, scenario innovation, industrial driving force, and market maturity. A total of 48 high-quality demonstration entities were selected from enterprises citywide. Anno Robotics was shortlisted for its intelligent unmanned retail application solution for AI-powered robotic freshly-made beverages in commercial scenarios, centered on six-axis robotic arms and machine learning systems.

This marks Anno Robotics winning this honor once again. It fully demonstrates that the company’s technical strength, commercial deployment capability and industry demonstration value have gained continued authoritative recognition from the government and industry.

This selection represents a key implementation in Shenzhen of the national "Robot +" Application Action Implementation Plan. It aims to accelerate the cultivation of benchmark robot application enterprises with exemplary and leading effects. These benchmark projects can drive industrial upgrading and effectively address pain points across various sectors, serving as an important official certification of the practical deployment strength of Shenzhen’s robotics industry.

Commercial service sectors including catering, cultural tourism and retail are confronted with multiple structural challenges. The industry heavily relies on manual preparation of freshly-made beverages and in-person reception services. Rising labor costs and high staff turnover increase operational burdens. Meanwhile, consumer demand for 24-hour service and standardized experience keeps growing. Balancing operating costs, operational efficiency and service quality has become a core issue to be addressed in the intelligent transformation of the service industry.

  • Difficulty balancing costs and efficiency Labor costs remain persistently high. Beverage technicians require long training cycles and suffer from high turnover rates. Traditional stores face staff shortages during peak hours and idle labor during off-hours, resulting in resource waste. Sustainable cost reduction and efficiency gains are hard to achieve.
  • Inherent limitations in scenario expansion Brick-and-mortar stores require large floor areas and bear heavy rental expenses. It is difficult to quickly deploy outlets in fragmented high-traffic locations such as shopping mall atriums, transport hubs and industrial parks, missing opportunities for round-the-clock mobile consumption.
  • Inconsistent product quality from manual operation Procedures such as freshly-made beverage preparation and creative latte art depend on operators’ experience. Operational errors are inevitable. Beverage taste varies across different locations and time windows even within the same brand, hindering consistent brand reputation building.
  • High barriers to large-scale equipment deployment Key components of commercial robots have long relied on imports, leading to high procurement costs and long lead times. This significantly raises entry barriers for service providers and restricts large-scale popularization across the industry.
Robots do not replace humans; they solve problems humans cannot.

Addressing multiple pain points across the industry, Anno Robotics has launched an AI embodied robot intelligent unmanned retail solution, which greatly cuts labor costs, boosts operational efficiency and strengthens enterprise competitiveness. The company pioneers the "Technology Platform + Scenario Plugin" model, building a full lineup of beverage-preparing robots covering coffee, milk tea, ice cream, cocktails and more. With world-leading product performance, the robots deliver stable and reliable operation, 100% accurate replication to replace manual work, and support mass production. The solution has passed commercial and large-scale verification in real-world scenarios, resolving the long-standing challenge of unmanned production for freshly-made beverages.

Technological strength is ultimately validated by the market. As a global pioneer in the track of AI embodied robots for freshly-made beverages, Anno Robotics’ massive real-site operation data, global deployment footprint and multi-scenario adaptability fully prove that our solution is highly adaptable, replicable, scalable and high-value. It provides a mature model for the nationwide and global large-scale rollout of "Robot + Commercial Services".

Leveraging its mature application solution of AI embodied robots for freshly-made beverages, Anno Robotics now has a presence in more than 100 cities across China and exports its products to over 80 countries and regions worldwide, holding a significant market share in the desktop robotic arm and AI intelligent unmanned retail sectors.

A host of benchmark projects have been deployed: smart super-charging coffee kiosk at Shenzhen Bijia Mountain Park, latte art coffee kiosk & ice cream kiosk at Window of the World, coffee kiosk at Lianhuashan Park, student cafeteria of Harbin Institute of Technology, cafeteria of Bao’an District People’s Government, Sinopec gas stations, Shenzhen Airport, library of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, scenic spots at Panda Green Island Park in Ya’an, Sichuan, and more. These deployments across government & enterprise, cultural tourism, transportation and university scenarios are all in operation, with an annual total beverage serving volume exceeding 10 million cups.
