The manufacturer aims to provide at least 30 cafes with robots this year. It is also working on an upgrade with a state-of-the-art science institute that will incorporate big data and artificial intelligence technology into custom drink making.

'But I am also worried about the job market because a lot of my friends are doing part-time jobs in cafes and these robots will replace humans.'
