can I buy you a drink

This wing-nut guy might be a babe magnet at the bars but he does seem to be handicapped with only one arm, a head and little else.  Of course, he might have a hot processor.

Now this classy robot already has a nice looking date but does he know how to mix a good stiff drink?

I'm guessing (I didn't make it there - hey if any of you would like me to cover an event like this please send ticket money and I'll be on my way) mixing some good drinks and having fun were objectives of this BarBot 2010 held recently in San Francisco.  I find robots interesting and believe their functionality will continue to grow.  

Back in 08 I was able to visit a free exhibit called Nextfest in Chicago that had some robots displayed.  If this one could really cut the grass on it's own, I would consider buying one.  


One of the strangest, maybe even freaky, was this snake robot but I didn't get a good picture of it.  At the time I visited many of the robots were not operating (electronic break?).  This guy looked sad not being turned on.  I wonder if he made it to BarBot?


Do you have a roomba?

Here's a few more pictures from that technical drinking event.  Check out the mechanical drink serving at the BarBot.
