asahi-beer-robot-07-02-08_4llZW_48At times, when you want another mug of beer, but are too drunk to go get one, wouldn’t it be great if a genie could pour endless mugs until you say STOP? The new Asahi bartender robot is not a genie, but then, not less than him. Asahi Beer has already made experiments with robot bartenders, but they have really achieved the success with the new bot, which is capable of serving customers in less than two minutes. This bartending bot was built in about 200 hours and spent a full six months to learn the bartending skills perfectly. There is a hidden PC that features a touch screen interface and runs Windows Vista. It takes beer bottles from a conveyor belt, pops the caps off, and then turns them around on a whirling wheel. Check out the video after the jump to see the Asahi bartender in action.
