Dutch create beer pouring robot

God bless Professor Thomas Weber of Holland's Technical University of Darmstadt and his class of budding scientists. At last, someone is doing some work in robotics that will have an applicable real world benefit to mankind.

The good professor challenged his class to create a robot that pours a pint at precisely the right angle. It looks someone might have to add a fourth law of robotics to Asimov's: "A robot may not drink a human's beer." And get this: the good professor is considering mass marketing his beer-pouring automaton.

Will wonders never cease?
