Too lazy to get up and make that cup of joe? Apparently some Italians were so fed up with the brewing process, they set their sites on creating a barista robot that does it for them.
At first glance, Justine looks like a compilation of Red Bull cans, but the coffee making robot by the DEXMART project is a lot more complex, having features such as sMART sensory-motor skills.
Sound too good to be true? Well, if you're a real coffee connoisseur, it is, you won't be so thrilled. Justine's not quite ready for people who expect a quality caffeine fix as the robot is only capable of making the instant stuff. Blech.
