RoboLab was Founder at the beginning of 2016 by a group of entrepreneurs with a background in entertainment and investment. We instantly brought on board a group of top scientists to create new opportunities for the service and entertainment industry by using newly available robotic technologies and state – of- art software solutions. RoboLab teamed up with two universities to work out the current robot-bartending unit: Tallinn University of technology worked out the first teach solution and Tartu University as our main partner today is building the machines. Tartu University is listed as worlds 314-the in ARWU list of top universities of the world and similar position (301-350) in Times Higher Education ranking. Our Company Currently has a team of 15, Supported by five outstanding advisors that gather monthly to review progress and consult. You can get to know them all at the end of this document and even more closely on our webpage where the main characters provide video statements and share their Linkedin profile .

Robolab develops, produces, sells and operates robotic service units. There is a wide array of areas where automation will take place. However, right now we have decided to focus on the hospitality and entertainment sector. Our first units are fully autonomous bartending units, called Yanu, which can be placed in public places like nightclubs or bars, restaurants, cruise ships, hotels, festivals and any crowded entertainment venue. We are selling cost-effective service robots for the hospitality and entertainment industry. Our first solution can automate beverage-mixing and be serving activities while functioning as a stand-alone business unit. The unit effectively replaces the classic, human-operated bar setup and helps businesses to overcome labor-related bottlenecks. Yanu decreases labor costs since it requires no full-time workers and only routine maintenance, generates 10‒15% less material loss through its greater control of the serving process, eliminates the risk of error or theft while increasing productivity since one unit can replace up to four full-time workers.

Our first solution can automate beverage-mixing and be serving activities while functioning as a stand-alone business unit. The unit replaces in a very effective way the classic, human-operated bar setup and helps businesses to overcome labor-related bottlenecks. It decreases labor costs as it only needs some routine maintenance, no full-time workers, generates 10-15% less material loss as it features a more controlled serving process and eliminates the risk of error or theft, and increases productivity as one unit can replace up to four full-time workers.

We can sell and rent units to clients as well as operating our own units in leased spaces all over the world, starting in the EU. Consequently, cash flow increases from sales of units, unit maintenance, and sales of services and goods. We sell directly, and we prefer direct client relationships instead of using an intermediary agent, so we can maintain a close relationship with our customers.

All units are assembled using components produced by major companies and proven technologies. Although innovation is required at every step, we are assisted by the overall rise in enabling technologies (i.e. sensors, cameras, AI). Our cutting-edge engineers guarantee quality and an outstanding product that does not as yet have many market competitors.

Couple words about Estonia: It produces more successful startups per capita than any other country in Europe. We have one of the most favorable regulations and most liberal tax systems in the world, with zero corporate income tax. It also attracts a lot of investments – Estonia is second in Europe after the UK in euros invested into startups per capita through new alternative funding solutions and predicted to be in top 3 of the world by that number. By the June 2018 report of Price Waterhouse = Estonia ranks 4th in the world in the number of closed and planned Ico’s, and considering funding volume, 7th. “Estonia is 1.3million people and we have 4 unicorns. There are no other so small countries in the world with 4 unicorns today.”, says Kersti Kaljulaid, President of Estonia.

The new Yanu prototype will be ready in the end of 2018 and ready for production and first demo-bars during 2019, so very soon. As Alan Adojaan, the CEO of Robolab says: “Yanu bartending robot is a first humble step in helping out service industry to do their job better in every aspect of the business. I believe that AI and robotics will soon create a revolution in that industry that You do not want to miss.”
