Oh, those Italians and their coffee-making robots

coffee making robotWell, there aren't many of them. To be more specific, there is only one coffee making robot in Italy so far (but leave it to the Italians to come up with this one)

The robot's name is Justine, and she was only just introduced to the world as a prototype at a robotics conference in Rome on Wednesday. So far Justine can only make instant coffee, but her creators say just give it time.
They're working on ways to give the coffee maker enough sensory equipment and the ability to use both hands so that one day you can have your very own barrista at home.

Justine is the first result of a European Union project called DEXMART, which involves research partners in Italy, the U.K., France and Germany. I'm not a huge coffee drinker, but I know lots of people who are. I bet they can't wait for the day when every one has their own coffee robot. "Justine, I'll have a double shot espresso, please."
