“Beer Me” robot yet another prove of how lazy a man can be.
Posted on 02:19 by Unknown
Like I always say, technology has vastly helped us puny humans to cope up and achieve great things that used to be unthinkable. But technology has also made us lazier by the day. This is a sound proof of the latter. Willow Garage, some drunken group that must be nerdy with a beer belly, had come up with a robot, PR2, which can serve four pints of beers at a time.
Navigated with accurate waypoint of the fridge to the living room, the robot is ‘armed’ with a four-holed foam block placed behind the robot’s navigation laser, so that it can serve its master while the master sob at its team for losing the world cup. What’s great is that the robot can even restock the refrigerator with a tilted ‘self-stocking’ shelf. Too bad the robot can’t make the beers come out ‘magically’. But I don’t mind having this robot if it can serve me some Haagen-Dazs while I watch some cartoons during a hot afternoon.
