The News

  • Seattle-based Blue Hill Coffee has changed its name to Artly.

  • The company has expanded beyond its initial Portland installations into San Francisco, where it has deployed three robots.

  • Artly’s computer vision+artificial intelligence (AI) system can train the robot to mimic human barista movements, as well as better understand its environment.
