Robotics and AI are rapidly transforming everyday services, and one of the most exciting examples can now be seen in public spaces. During the Spring Festival holiday, a mobile coffee robot began operating in a park in Shenzhen, serving freshly brewed coffee and ice cream from a compact mobile kiosk. Working up to eight hours a day, the robot can prepare a drink in about two minutes, seamlessly completing tasks such as picking up cups, brewing coffee, and delivering the final order.

IB3‑708 AI computing board
Behind this smooth and efficient service lies the powerful computing capability of the Giada IB3‑708, an advanced AI computing board developed by Giada. Acting as the “brain” of the robot’s control system, the board enables intelligent perception, real-time processing, and stable operation throughout the entire workflow.
Rockchip RK3576 Processor with 6 TOPS NPU
When a customer places an order, the robot first receives the request and uses its AI vision system to identify the correct coffee machine location. It then autonomously navigates to the station and initiates the preparation process. Powered by the IB3-708, the robot performs multi-sensor fusion to detect obstacles and ensure precise movements, from picking up cups to brewing and delivering drinks. At the same time, customers can track the preparation progress on a display screen, while the robot records operational data locally for analysis before returning to its standby position.
The IB3-708 is built on the Rockchip RK3576 platform, featuring an octa-core CPU and an integrated AI NPU delivering up to 6 TOPS of AI computing power. This enables fast processing of sensor data and supports real-time intelligent decision-making for robotic systems.
Rich Connectivity
Designed for reliability, the board adopts a fanless architecture, supports operation from 0°C to 60°C, and offers rich connectivity including RS232/485, HDMI, LVDS, USB, LAN, and GPIO. It also supports both Android and Ubuntu, providing developers with a flexible environment for building intelligent robotic applications.
As smart retail and service robots continue to reshape urban life, the Giada IB3-708 stands as a reliable computing foundation—quietly powering the next generation of intelligent service systems.
