As we wrap up another year of solving tough automation challenges, we figured we’d end it the right way… with a perfectly poured drink. 🍸🤖

Meet The Pour Lord — a custom bartender machine we built in collaboration with Standard Bots, powered by the R02 Cobot.

From a custom interface designed by our team to precise, repeatable motion control, this system shows what’s possible when thoughtful software, robotics, and machine design come together.

Select a drink. Watch the arm grab a glass, hit every ingredient with accuracy, and deliver the final pour — no spills, no guesswork, just solid automation (with a little flair 😉).

Whether it’s manufacturing, material handling, or the occasional cocktail, we love building machines that do the job right.

Pour Lord Approved... It’s five o’clock somewhere.
Happy New Year from all of us at Live Automation, LLC🥂

🎉 A Well-Deserved Pit Stop for the Live Automation, LLC Team...
Before the holiday rush hit full speed, our team took a brief detour from projects, panels, and problem-solving to enjoy our annual holiday party, hosted this year at Apex Entertainment Marlborough.

Let’s just say:

The go-karts proved who’s really the fastest on the floor — and who’s better off tuning the speed limits instead of pushing them. 🏎️

The bowling lanes reminded us that even with perfect calculations, the ball doesn’t always behave in a real-world environment. 🎳

And the arcade… well, it brought out a competitive streak we all knew we had. 🤣

We wrapped up the night at 110 Grill, sharing good food, plenty of laughs, and a moment to appreciate the team that keeps everything running smoothly — even when the rest of the world is in “holiday mode.”

It was a great chance to recharge, reconnect, and celebrate the people behind the work.

Here’s to closing out the year strong and starting the next one with momentum.
