Henry Hu launched Cafe X, an automated coffee shop, in San Francisco in January, as reported in Wired and elsewhere. As described in the Jan. 30 Wired story, titled “This Robot Barista Makes a Dang Good Latte,” an automated Cafe X barista that goes by the name Gordon can crank out cappuccinos, espressos, and more, all untouched by human hands. Henry began working on Cafe X in 2014 and has raised $5 million in venture-capital funding.
