REAL LIFE IMITATES FED: THE COCKTAIL MIXING ROBOT
by Hazed
It’s not quite a waitdroid, but a new piece of technology comes as close as anything I’ve seen in the real world. It’s a robot that mixes cocktails, called the barobot.
It’s an open source device that mixes alcohols with soft drinks and sodas. You load up to 12 bottles into the barobot and it uses its store of over 1,000 cocktail recipes, which you select from a touchscreen, to mix you up your favourite drink.
It may not have the humanoid form of a waitdroid, but it does look stylish, made of acrylic glass in either black or clear and illuminated with over 100 LEDs.
What’s more, you can connect to it using wifi and use your phone or table to order your cocktail. Sadly, it won’t bring the booze to you – you’ll have to stand up to fetch it, or persuade someone else to get it for you.
The barobot costs $1,450 and can be ordered from the source link below.
If I were in the habit of giving parties, I’d really want one of these!
