AI Meets Hardware: Our Journey Into AI powered Robotic Vending Machines

At moblers, as our clients already know, we combine innovative software with clever hardware to create real-world solutions. That’s why we’re excited to introduce YumiGo, our brand-new venture in robotic vending machines.

What is YumiGo?

YumiGo is a next-generation robotic vending platform designed to deliver fresh, high-quality beverages automatically, anytime and anywhere. Built at the intersection of advanced software, robotics, and smart hardware, YumiGo replaces traditional beverage counters with compact, automated machines. These machines prepare and serve customizable drinks 24/7. Each machine operates as part of a connected ecosystem. It combines robotic preparation, mobile ordering and payments, and real-time monitoring. As a result, YumiGo enables consistent quality, faster deployment, lower operational costs, and a smooth, modern self-service experience for consumers.

Why YumiGo? Because the Future Demands Smarter Vending

For decades, traditional vending machines have served society by delivering snacks, drinks, and small goods on demand. However, modern consumers expect more than just convenience. They want freshness, personalization, immediacy, and smooth, intuitive experiences. That’s where smart vending comes in.

With YumiGo, we’re embracing the evolution of retail. These vending machines leverage AI, robotics, and connected hardware to transform passive dispensers into interactive sales platforms.

What Makes YumiGo Different

  • AI-Driven Intelligence & Personalization
    Over time, YumiGo machines use AI to learn customer preferences. They identify what sells best in specific locations, when demand peaks, and which items to promote. As a result, the machines offer smarter product suggestions and maintain high availability of popular items.

  • Robotic Dispensing — Not Just Spirals and Springs
    Unlike classic vending machines, which rely on simple mechanisms and limited product shapes, YumiGo uses advanced robotic internals. This approach allows a much wider variety of products to be dispensed. These range from snacks and drinks to electronics, accessories, and fresh-made juices.

  • Real-Time Monitoring & Remote Management
    Through IoT connectivity and intelligent inventory management, YumiGo enables real-time monitoring of stock levels, machine health, and usage data. As a result, operators experience less downtime and better restocking planning.
    Overall, this approach enables smoother operations, whether teams manage the machines directly or partners handle them.

  • A Seamless, Modern User Experience
    Finally, YumiGo is designed for the 2027s customer. It offers an intuitive app, a touchscreen-free experience, flexible payment methods, and high reliability. Instead of feeling like a traditional vending interaction, the experience feels closer to modern retail. Do you prefer fresh carrot-orange juice or Lemon-Melon-Pomegranate? YumiGo adapts to what consumers truly want.

The Journey So Far — From Vision to Prototype

Turning an idea into a working vending robot isn’t trivial. At moblers, we followed the lean-startup approach. We built a proof of concept and then a minimal viable product (MVP). Along the way, we tested markets, collected feedback, and iterated quickly. At the same time, we combined our software expertise with industrial design sensibilities to create a robust solution that balances automation, reliability, and user experience.

Along the way, we’ve learned a lot: about hardware constraints, about software-to-machine integration, about real-world user behavior. And each lesson informed improvements — on the mechanical side, on the UX side, on the backend.

What’s Next — Where We’re Headed

With YumiGo ready to roll out, here’s what we’re aiming for next:

  • Deploy prototype machines in pilot locations to gather real user data
  • Expand product types, including customizable and high-margin items.
  • Refine AI-driven recommendation and restocking logic to maximize uptime and sale.s
  • Offer YumiGo as a turnkey solution that enables partners to deploy robotic vending without building from scratch.

Why This Matters — For Customers, Partners, and Retailers

For consumers, YumiGo means greater convenience, a wider variety, freshness, and a smoother self-service experience. They get access to products on demand, often beyond the limitations of typical vending machines.

For retailers and business partners, YumiGo offers a lower-cost, lower-labor way to sell fresh products 24/7. Built-in data analytics help optimize inventory, product mix, and location strategy.

For moblers — YumiGo embodies our core philosophy: bridging software and hardware to deliver meaningful innovation.
