ARLINGTON, Texas — Robots aren't playing ball anytime soon but visitors at Globe Life Field should expect to see them tend bar at their next Texas Rangers game.
The stadium debuted its first robot bartender named ADAM leading up to the 2024 Major League Baseball All-Star Game. The technology combines artificial intelligence, advanced sensors and two robotic arms needed to sling drinks alongside human bartenders.
ADAM will be located at the concessions bar adjacent to the entrance of Section 111. The robot is stepping up to the plate to serve classic cocktails, from Lemon Drops to Whiskey Sours, and a selection of mocktails.
The robot bartender is one of the AI-driven service robots from Richtech Robotics Inc., a Nevada company and provider of robotic solutions for the service industry. Globe Life Field isn't the first to see ADAM in action, as the robot is already making drinks at Las Vegas boba and Brooklyn coffee shops.
Globe Life Field will have another automated cocktail option, Rotender, available near section 125. There, guests can choose a liquor and a mixer which the Rotender will fill their cup with in as little as 30 seconds.
The announcement comes alongside the rest of the new concession lineup for the All-Star Game. Globe Life Field says it has brought on 25 chefs to create the new dishes.
Some of the dishes have strong Texas ties with a ballpark twist, like the Lone Star Frito Pie Dog, which is a foot-long hot dog topped with chili, queso, sour cream, jalapenos and, of course, Fritos.
