Apparently, the robot was built in about 200 hours and spent a full six months fine-tuning its bartending skills, which includes being able to serve customers in less than two minutes. That's done with the aid of a discreetly-hidden PC that controls the compressed air and the robot's various switching mechanisms, not to mention its pleasant demeanor. </DIV><BR /><DIV>Be sure to head on past the break for a video of the bot in action courtesy of Channel Flip.</DIV><BR />[Via <A href="http://techdigest.tv/2008/07/mr_asahi_beer_r.html" linkindex="121">Tech Digest</A>, image courtesy of <A href="http://www.asahibeer.co.uk/selfridges/index.html" linkindex="122">Asahi Beer</A>]</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.switched.com/2008/07/05/mr-asahi-robot-bartender-makes-its-public-debut/"><DIV class="postmeta"><P class="continueReading"><A rel="bookmark" href="http://www.switched.com/2008/07/05/mr-asahi-robot-bartender-makes-its-public-debut/" linkindex="123" set="yes">Continue reading <EM>Robot Bartender Serves Drinks In Less Than Two Minutes</EM></A></P><UL class="postnav"><LI class="readlink"><A href="http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2008/07/02/231316/robotic-barman-mr-asahi-serves-drinks-at-selfridges.htm" class="related-link" linkindex="124"><STRONG>Read</STRONG></A> <A title="Open in a new window." and="" target="_blank" class="icon" href="http://www.computerweekly.com/Articles/2008/07/02/231316/robotic-barman-mr-asahi-serves-drinks-at-selfridges.htm" linkindex="125"><IMG src="http://www.blogsmithmedia.com/www.switched.com/media/icon-external.gif" /></A></LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A title="Permanent link to this entry" rel="bookmark" href="http://www.switched.com/2008/07/05/mr-asahi-robot-bartender-makes-its-public-debut/" linkindex="126">Permalink</A></LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"><A title="Send this entry to a friend via email" href="http://www.switched.com/forward/1244258/" linkindex="127">Email this</A></LI><li style="margin-left:16px;padding-left: 0px;"> <A href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" linkindex="128">SHARE</A> </LI><LI class="commentslink"><A title="View reader comments on this entry" href="http://www.switched.com/2008/07/05/mr-asahi-robot-bartender-makes-its-public-debut/#comments" linkindex="129">0 Comments</A></LI></UL></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/838FF83A-6CE6-4705-8249-1B43620BA079/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
