Robotic Bartender – What can a $99 Arduino-compatible controller and 6 BLDC servo motors do?
We challenged a small team of engineers to demonstrate the flexibility and power of the new controller. They came up with a robotic bartender that lets you order one of 130,000 possible drink combinations for the perfect cocktail.
Rochester, NY: Teknic's Robotic Bartender uses 1 of Teknic's new ClearCore controllers (Arduino compatible) and 6 ClearPath integrated servo motors. We challenged a small team of engineers to demonstrate the flexibility and power of the new controller. They came up with a robotic bartender that lets you order one of 130,000 possible drink combinations for the perfect cocktail.
See the robotic bartender demo that "is a mix of fun and serious engineering".

What are users saying on Google Reviews?
o "Both ClearLink and ClearCore have truly been designed with industrial applications in mind and offer a ton of capability at a fraction of the cost and size of a PLC based system." - Ivan Chousal
o The ease of use and all-in-one package of the ClearPath motors is incredible. The only thing more impressive than the motor is the customer service." - Cecil Baird
o "We have been incredibly impressed with every facet of Teknic, Inc. As an OEM that will have systems in the field worldwide for multiple decades their promise of continuing to make available legacy products to support our customers also impressed me." - John Cantrell

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
