The Intelligent Vending Machine Puts Knowledge to Good Use

The JR EAST railway company of Japan has placed an intelligent vending machine in one of its Tokyo stations that detects a customer's sex and age. With that information the machine recommends drinks suitable for the customer. All the buyer has to do is choose from the suggested options.

With a 47-inch touch panel and a camera for detection, this vending machine is technologically advanced.
