MotoMan RoboBar

Robotic Bartender

— July 8, 2006 — Tech
Ever waited in line for a drink? If so the benefit of a robotic bartender is pretty clear. In January, we featured an article on the Asahi Robot Bartender. Now, Motoman takes that concept a leap forward with the MotoMan RoboBar. The RoboBar is a 'high volume robotic bartending solution' that can mix a perfect drink every 10-15 sections. That's pretty hard core.

With all this talk about machines replacing humans, it was only a matter of time before machines took the really practical stuff!
