Students make automatic cocktail mixing machine with smartphone

This is one of the outstanding products at Da Nang Polytechnic Research and Technology Exhibition Conference (Techshow 2016) held at Danang Polytechnic University in 2 days 27 and 28/5. .

Research topic, design automatic cocktail dispensing machine controlled by Android operating system application developed by 3 students Vuong Hai Trieu, Tran Dang Tinh, Tran Van Mung (Faculty of Electrical, Bach Khoa University) presented at the Student Scientific Research Conference.

Sharing about his products, Mr. Tran Van Mung (team leader) said: "In terms of technical and scientific development, smartphones and Wi-Fi systems have become very popular. Especially, Da Nang is 1 tourism city with diversity and growing more chains, systems, bar shops, restaurants . with free Wi-Fi coverage throughout the city. The automation system based on these devices will save us time and manpower, so the team chose to use smartphones and Wi-Fi networks to build their systems. "
