Mr. Asahi, the robot bartender

Posted by John Brownlee, July 2, 2008 8:36 AM | permalink

blip.tv got a chance to go to the Asahi Beer Brewery and check out their eponymous robotic barman, Mr. Asahi. He only serves Asahi, unfortunately, and there's a great deal of chest thumping about how his hyper-complex robotic innards took "eight engineers two hundred man hours to put together" (in other words, a Bank Holiday work week), but I look forward to a future in which I am drafted Heffeweiszens with micron perfect heads by robotic bartenders. The first time one goes into kill mode on me for drunkenly forgetting to pay my tab? Well, not so much.

I'm reminded of the one in "The Fifth Element" as well...

"Do you want some more?"

Looks better than what the Sirius Cybernetics Nutrimatic Drink Dispenser offers.

@#3:"Do you want some more?"

Awesome. I'm glad someone else thought of that too.
