Richtech Robotics demos ADAM robot Chicago

Richtech Robotics said on May 7 that it plans to use the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago to stage a live food-service demonstration built around two of its machines. The Las Vegas-based company said its ADAM robot will prepare fresh noodles with toppings at booth #3885, while its Matradee Plus robot will carry samples to attendees. The event runs May 16-19 at McCormick Place, according to the show organizer. Richtech said the setup is aimed at showing how its robots can work across preparation and delivery in a restaurant environment. ### What exactly will visitors see in Chicago? ADAM is scheduled to make noodles live on the show floor, Richtech said in its announcement. The company said the robot will garnish the noodles with a variety of toppings during the demonstration and present the setup as an example of repeatable food preparation.

Richtech said attendees will be able to sample the noodles after the preparation step, with the autonomous delivery robot transporting the servings from the demo area to guests. ### Where and when is the demonstration happening?

Richtech said the noodle demonstration is intended to show “culinary precision, consistency” and the ability of automation to deliver repeatable food preparation at scale.
