Suntory's Lidris robot debuted at Expo 2025, creating 3D illustrations inside beverages. It uses precise ink injections to form images like the expo mascot within drinks. This technology employs robotics and fluid mechanics, enabling clear, stable designs for over an hour. Lidris allows for customizable drinks, tailoring flavors and colors for various events. It enhances the beverage experience by visualizing creations in real-time. The technology holds potential applications in education and science communication, promoting concepts in an engaging manner.
Lidris can create three-dimensional illustrations directly in liquids using food-safe inks, transforming soft drinks into interactive art experiences as part of the beverage service.
The innovative system behind Lidris combines robotics, food science, and fluid mechanics to produce customizable beverages that enhance engagement and enjoyment for consumers.
