Embodied AI Lands in Chayan Yuese, the “New Employee” Goes Viral

Viral AI Milk Tea Maker Wow Customers During Golden Week

During the recent National Day “Golden Week” holiday, a short video from some Tea Yanyuese stores went viral. In the clip, a “new staff member” prepares a drink with clean, precise movements — grabbing a cup, adding ingredients, labeling, stirring, and handing it over — all in just 15 seconds.

Netizens marveled:

> “This efficiency is like stepping straight into the future!”

At first glance, it seems like just a pair of busy “mechanical hands” behind the counter. In fact, it’s powered by HuiLing Technology’s embodied intelligence operating system — HITBOT OS, jointly developed with Tea Yanyuese into the AI Milk Tea Workshop App.

This system not only improves efficiency and precision, but also ushers store operations into a truly intelligent human–machine collaboration era. The equipment has already been trialed in selected Tea Yanyuese locations.

From “Robot” to “Shaking Milk Tea”: HuiLing’s Scenario-Oriented Embodied Intelligence

In embodied intelligence, the biggest challenge is deeply integrating technology into real-world scenarios for true commercial deployment.

Example:

If we want robots to “do laundry and cook,” the home must first feature appliances like washing machines, rice cookers, and dishwashers — plus a command system to connect and coordinate them all. Based on this hardware–software foundation, we could then develop “apps” for various household tasks.

Similarly, in a milk tea shop, a robot must connect with:

  • The cashier system
  • The ordering system
  • Specialized equipment like tea brewers and ingredient dispensers

Without such integration, robots could perform demo actions but wouldn’t truly fit into store operations or scale commercially.

HuiLing’s solution:

  • Operating system + modular hardware infrastructure
  • Decouples scenarios from hardware for greater flexibility and efficiency
  • HITBOT OS bridges AI with physical robotics (‘Physical AI’) for multiple industries
  • Lowers development barriers and accelerates application deployment toward commercial success

The Intelligent “Hand-Brew” Revolution

In the competitive tea beverage market, stores face three main challenges:

  • Product quality consistency
  • Food safety management
  • High training costs and frequent staff turnover

HuiLing’s intelligent milk tea line offers three core capabilities to address these:

  • Standardized output
  • Food safety assurance
  • Cost reduction with efficiency gains

1. Standardized Output: Consistent Taste Across Thousands of Stores

  • Precise weighing and automated dispensing keep ingredient errors within ±1g
  • Ensures flavor consistency nationwide
  • Eliminates human-caused taste variation
  • Digital management accurately replicates recipes
  • Boosts brand competitiveness and enhances customer experience

2. Food Safety: Traceable and Standard-Compliant

  • Tracks each production step
  • Strictly follows headquarters’ ingredient replacement rules
  • Automatically halts production if raw materials are outdated
  • Ensures hygiene and safety in every cup

3. Cost Reduction & Efficiency Gains: Calm in the Rush

  • Standardized processes reduce reliance on manual training
  • Produces a cold drink in 15 seconds, sustaining peak demand without stress
  • IoT connectivity provides headquarters with real-time operational data
  • Improves coordination between humans, machines, and stores
  • Lowers labor costs

The smart milk tea line is just one “app” built atop HuiLing’s scenario-oriented embodied intelligence OS.

HITBOT OS now includes:

  • Hundreds of modular hardware types
  • Scenario-specific software modules
  • An industry-ready base for rapid deployment across diverse sectors

Example — Smart Experiment App:

  • Generates experimental plans via AI based on research goals
  • Robotic arms execute precise operations: liquid dispensing, mixing, heating
  • Sensors collect data in real time and feed it back for AI analysis
  • No human intervention required — improved efficiency and safety

From “shaking milk tea” to “smart science”, HuiLing collaborates with ecosystem partners to:

  • Solve the “last mile” problem of embodied intelligence
  • Achieve commercial closure in multiple scenarios
  • Empower industries broadly with AI-enhanced robotics
