What happened
Richtech Robotics, founded in 2016, launched a round-the-clock livestream platform where audiences can interact directly with ADAM, its service robot. Users can chat with the robot, ask questions, and observe how it responds dynamically to human interaction in real time, rather than watching pre-recorded content.
Why it matters
Building public trust is a key aspect of humanoid robotics development. By letting people engage directly with an embodied AI system, Richtech is demonstrating advances in how robots can communicate effectively with users in the real world, combining conversational AI with robotics. ADAM has already served drinks at the Kennedy Space Center and prepared noodles at the National Restaurant Association show, suggesting the company is moving beyond isolated deployments into broader public interaction.
What to watch
Richtech plans to use the livestream to showcase other AI-driven platforms for hospitality, automotive, and manufacturing environments. In April 2026, the company made its robotic systems available in the Microsoft Marketplace for Azure; next week it will debut an AI-driven pallet jack at Automate in Chicago (Booth 17060) and show its industrial humanoid robot Dex (Booth 2088).
