Café Robot is located inside the main building of the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Brno. The cube with dimensions 4x4x4m is inserted inside one of the interior halls. The cubic space is divided into a precise metric raster. A Futuristic cafe with robotic hand as a professional barista is creating a technicist feel, inspired by the movie "A Space Odyssey" by Stanley Kubrick. Customers order their coffee of choice with androgen hologram called "Viki", who can take a photo of the customer and then the robotic hand, with deeply designed barista movements, can make the "Selfieccino" a cappuccino with the face of the customer printed in the milk foam. The robotic hand itself is a reference to the work of the Czech writer Karel Čapek, in his drama called "RUR" he introduced the word "robot" for the first time.
Inserted cube is based around steel supporting structure. These frames are carying several types of glass or translucent foil on the ceiling. Opposite the entrance there is the main robots workspace.
