Recently, Japanese brewer Asahi gave away 5,000 bartending
robots
as a promotion, which was pretty cool. This morning, though, we hear
that alcohol-themed robotics has taken a giant leap forward—the University of Saarland has created a barbot that can
understand voice commands
, will tell you ingredient-themed jokes, and will even
tell you the alcohol content of your drink. It’s probably only a few months
before one of these things will be ruling the roost at your local Irish pub,
insulting your girlfriend and eventually kicking you both out.
