A fully automated coffee bar that uses robotic technology has been introduced to a Columbus, Ohio, hospital and has served more than 1,400 coffees, lattes and mochas in its first week, according to a Columbus Business First report. The machine can make up to 250 different hot and cold drinks, including tea.

The installation in Doctors Hospital is the first placement of the MyAppCafe machine, made by a Germany-based manufacturer. The machine is being distributed exclusively in the U.S. by Robojo, a Worthington, Ohio, company, according to the company's website.
