Service robots are increasing significantly, as they are playing a key role in our city-life. This paper depicts the system design of a beverage-sale robotic system named BSR. BSR can sale beverage such as Coca Cola, beers and Sprite to the clients automatically, working as a human seller. The robotic system can also play the role of a casher doing cash in and check out. In this paper, the hardware design including the mechanical structure and the electrical system are introduced firstly. Then, the control strategy is proposed. BSR has been exhibited in a science museum in China and it is well welcomed by the audiences.
