But while it might serve up a delicious cup of coffee, it’s inventors say it’s not designed to put a barista out of their job.

The firm’s Jacky Shai told USA Today: “The barista doesn’t have time to communicate with the customers.

“That’s the purpose of our robot. The barista can now come out and talk to the customers about how they feel.”

Other contenders for this year’s most bonkers CES announcement include BMW’s Acer’s $9,000 gaming laptop and LG’s paper thin flat screen TV.
