It’s about time someone invented a beer-serving robot

By Noah Davis • Feb 8th, 2010 • Category: Beer News, featured

Forget flying cars. What we really want is a robot that wanders around parties serving beers to hungry guests. Luckily, a crew of scientists at Middlesex University is solving this problem.

The group brought their invention to the Kinetica Art Fair in London. How’s this baby work? Well, it follows a pre-programmed path and “when a party guest hold his or her hands above its sonar-sensing head and hands the kegbot a cup, the machine serves up a beer and continues on its merry way.”

That sounds just dandy, now doesn’t it? Want more? Engadget has the video.
