Shenzhen hosted a top‑tier Asia‑Pacific international gathering that brought together senior forestry officials from all over the world. From July 27 to 28, 2026, the 2026 APEC Forestry Ministers‘ Meeting grandly opened in Shenzhen under the theme "Building a Green Asia‑Pacific and Sharing Ecological Well‑being". Upon entering the main venue, high‑ranking delegates and experts from 21 APEC economies and seven international organisations were drawn to a distinctive tech‑infused coffee aroma. Multiple Anno AI latte‑art and coffee‑printing robots made a spectacular debut and became the venue’s most popular check‑in spot.

The glossy‑white robotic arm moves nimbly, and the rich fragrance of freshly ground coffee permeates the air. Equipped with high‑precision six‑axis robotic arms, visual capture and recognition technology, machine‑learning systems, alongside deep‑rooted integration of AGI function computation built‑on the Qwen large‑scale model, the Anno AI latte‑art and coffee‑printing robot completes the full workflow including grinding, extraction, milk‑foam whipping, latte art and pattern printing within 90 seconds, flawlessly replicating the craftsmanship of professional latte‑art baristas. It steadily produces assorted flavoured coffee drinks and recreates barista‑style artwork with effortless ease, crafting patterns such as hearts, tulips, swans and leaves. AIGC image generation supported by the Qwen large‑model function computation is also available. Users can upload any picture with one‑click operation and imprint APEC‑themed motifs, Chinese‑style elements and Shenzhen‑exclusive features onto the milk foam. Every cup of coffee thereby serves as a delicate medium for cross‑cultural communication, carefully presented to senior representatives from all Asia‑Pacific economies.

"What you sip is coffee; what you savour is innovation." Foreign guests stopped by to give favourable comments. While waiting for their bespoke beverages, they watched latte‑art demonstrations executed by the robotic arm with a positioning accuracy of 0.03‑millimetre. Custom patterns can be printed sharply on thick milk foam. Many visitors took out their mobile phones to record the robot’s entire working process and shared clips on overseas social‑media platforms.

Dubbed the sensational star barista at the APEC event, the robot requires no on‑site staff or complicated operations. Guests merely tap the touchscreen to select flavour, strength and sweetness for coffee of various types and serving temperatures. Its beverage menu covers classic Americano, latte and mocha, as well as diversified selections including cappuccino, flat white and espresso. More than 100 drink options are provided, ranging from robot‑made latte‑art coffee and custom‑printed drinks to fruit juice, milk tea and hot chocolate. Each beverage meets professional‑grade taste and quality standards, catering to the personalised flavour preferences of international delegates.

"The coffee tastes terrific, and Chinese‑developed technology is absolutely amazing!" Numerous foreign delegates held cups of AI‑decorated coffee and kept voicing praise. Long queues formed at the refreshment zone amid constant camera‑shutter sounds and compliments. Without doubt, the Anno AI coffee‑making robot turned into the most‑popular highlight of the APEC minister‑level meeting.

As a featured scientific‑innovation exhibit of the APEC Forestry Ministers‘ Meeting, Anno Robots’ innovative scenario‑based applications have received special coverage from national and local mainstream media. Journalists from authoritative outlets including national central‑level media, Shenzhen Special Zone Daily, Southern Metropolis Daily, One‑Minute Look at Shenzhen and Sing Tao Chronicle carried out on‑site shooting. They captured wonderful moments of robotic latte‑art creation and overseas guests’ experience‑check‑ins, and published in‑depth reports on Anno Robots’ practical achievements. Relevant materials were disseminated via multiple channels, showcasing the innovative breakthroughs of Chinese‑manufactured robots to online audiences and the whole Asia‑Pacific region. Its presence at this high‑profile official APEC minister‑level summit recognises Anno’s outstanding technical strength within the industry. It also constitutes powerful endorsement from government authorities and mainstream media for the innovative capacity of Shenzhen‑based private‑run tech enterprises. This is not Anno Robots’ debut on the Asia‑Pacific international stage. The brand has previously attended major official expos such as the China Hi‑Tech Fair and the APEC Informal Senior Officials’ Meeting. It keeps pioneering innovative "AI‑robot plus commercial‑service" scenarios and demonstrates the brand‑new accomplishments of China’s intelligent manufacturing to domestic and global audiences.
