Meet Mr Asahi the beer robot
By Rocky | July 3, 2008
We have done a few stories on Asahi Beer Robots on Hoppsy but this one is by far the most amazing. We found this story on EnGadget and thought our readers would be interested. This robot has made its public debut in the UK at Selfriges in Oxford street in London, and took eight robotics engineers over 200 hours to build and then another six months of training it to become a skilled bar tender. He can serve a customer an ice cold beer as draught pints, half pints and de-cap bottles of beer,and he is like all Japanese very polite, has great customer focus and doesn’t need to take any breaks. Mr Asahi can serve ice-cold beer as draught pints, half pints and de-cap bottles of beer. Fully life-size and weighing in at about a quarter of a ton, he will stand behind a specially constructed bar to serve customers He has LED facial effects and the ladies better watch out because he has a red flashing heart light when he finds someone he likes. After appearing at Selfriges he will go on a national tour of the UK before popping up in other places around the world.. Engadget has a video of him in action which is well worth a look http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/02/mr-asahi-robot-bartender-makes-its-public-debut/
