Meet Mr. Asahi: The bartending robot

I picture of Mr. Asahi, the robot bartender from Asahi Beer.

A robot that serves beer? Hopefully this development turns out more like Rosie from The Jetsons than Arnold in Terminator.

I found an Associated Press video introducing the world to the Japanese beer brand Asahi's friendly new bartender on the Clip Syndicate. Believe it or not, it's not Asahi's first bartending robot. As reported on Slashfood in 2006, Asahi has taken stabs at beer serving robots in the past, but this is definitely their most sophisticated model (at least that the public knows about!)

Check it our for yourself. The video starts after the jump.

Not enough of Mr. Asahi for you? You can also check out the promotional video on Asahi's UK website here.
