How about a coffee machine selling robot?
Nestle is going to deploy 1000 robots at $2000 each in Japan to sell coffee machines. Pretty interesting.

that's just a smart vending machine, that's all...
1) Try NOT to LOSE money!
2) Do NOT SELL in BEAR, BUY-BUY-BUY! invest in managements/companies that does the same! 3) CASH in hand is KING in BEAR! 4) In BULL, SELL-SELL-SELL!

Even simple mailing system can go wrong... not to mention complex systems (Bloomberg) -- It’s that time of year when colleges give out anxiously awaited news of some acceptances, and yet another one failed to do it right. Johns Hopkins University sent “welcome” notes to 294 early-decision applicants on Sunday who two days earlier had been refused admission to its undergraduate college, the school said today. “It was a congratulatory message,” said Dennis O’Shea, a spokesman for the school in Baltimore, in an e-mailed statement. “It also contained information relevant to accepted students, such as where they can get Johns Hopkins gear, and pointed them toward social networking sites and to a special hashtag.” While applying through a school’s early-decision program can increase the odds of being admitted, it requires accepted students to enroll. Consequently, many students apply to their first choice on an early-decision basis. “We very much regret having added to the disappointment felt by a group of very capable and hardworking students, especially ones who were so committed to the idea of attending Johns Hopkins that they applied early decision,” O’Shea said. With the gaffe, Johns Hopkins joins a list of prestigious universities that have sent applicants confusing and sometimes painful messages. In February, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology mistakenly sent some applicants a note with the tagline “You are on this list because you are admitted to MIT.” The university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, chalked it up to an error in computerized mailing. More Misfires In 2012, the University of California at Los Angeles sent an e-mail to 894 students who had been wait-listed for admission, inadvertently suggesting they had been admitted. The same year, 76 applicants to Vassar College received an e-mail letter from the college that erroneously stated they had been accepted. Johns Hopkins received 1,865 early-decision applications from students, of whom 539 were accepted and 1,326 weren’t, the university said. Students were able to access this information on the school website as of Dec. 12. On Dec. 14, the school sent out the congratulatory message that mistakenly went to some students who weren’t accepted. The university in Baltimore has sent apology notes to all those affected, according to the statement. “This was an unacceptable error and we are working to ensure that nothing of this nature happens again,” O’Shea said.
