Quantum of Seas Bionic Bar by Makr Shakr - Behind the Scenes

Makr Shakr, the world’s first robotic bartending system, will debut as the Bionic Bar onboard on Royal Caribbean’s new “smart cruise ship” Quantum of the Seas.

"Makr Shakr does not suggest replacing the bartender with a robot, but rather was conceived as a social experiment that looks at how people might embrace the new possibilities offered by robotics and digital manufacturing.” says Saverio Panata, COO of Makr Shakr.

To use Makr Shakr, users will access a simple app on a tablet, allowing them to create an almost limitless number of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drink combinations. The cocktail creations will then be assembled by two robotic arms, whose movements mimic the actions of a bartender, from the shaking of a martini to the thin slicing of a lemon garnish to the muddling of a mojito.

Makr Shakr collaborated, among others, with Automation Company CIA, German robot Manufacturer Kuka, IT consultants SEAC and installation construction company Nuova Rekord.
