Robot Bartenders Are All the Rage (and Here's the Latest One)


It seems like every time we turn around, some enterprising boozehound is figuring out some way to automate the dispersal of intoxicating beverages. Some, like the RC Cooler, cater to the lazy party host, while others, like this Lego contraption, are for the geeky among us who have a need to make everything more difficult than necessary. Still others are perfect for cheapskate bar owners who don't want to pay a qualified mixologist.

The newest non-living suds jerker, featured in the video above, was part of an open house by Total Manufacturing Company (TMCO) to show off... well, we're not really sure, but it's pretty freakin' cool. A robotic arm with a skeletal metal hand and white apron pulls on taps to serve beer to guests. That is quite a gimmick. We wonder if they'll fly us out for the next opening. [From: BoingBoing]
