ABSTRACT

The project is about the development of an automated Cocktail drink

machine that can automatically dispense ingredients to make Cocktails. The

machine uses android application and microcontroller for predefined

programs and instructions to process the chosen cocktail drinks of the user.

The amount of each ingredient to be dispensed is controlled by a

microcontroller. Then the ingredients is dispensed in a glass through a hose.

The system provide a choices of 10 pre-programmed cocktail.
